9:10 AM – 11:00 AM – The Basic Law of Town, Village District and School District Meeting Break Out Sessions:
Advanced Moderators – This year NHMA will be offering our usual moderator’s training materials but with sessions geared towards beginner and advanced moderators. The advanced session will contain an overview of the basics, but with specific content geared towards moderators who have handled one or more town meetings in the past.
Beginning Moderators – This session will focus on all of the basics for new moderators getting ready for their first town meeting or for those who want a refresher on the fundamentals of moderating a town meeting. We will spend a little more time focusing on the fundamental RSA’s and best practices, with more time worked in for questions.
11:00 AM – Break
11:10 AM – What Works & Doesn’t Work for Elections – This session will be hosted by experienced moderators as they recap some rules, practices and procedures they have used or seen used in years past along with a discussion of what worked and what maybe didn’t work exactly as planned.
12:00 noon – Break
12:20 PM – Hypotheticals – Break-out sessions for review and answering hypothetical situations that moderators might face.
1:30 PM – Workshop Ends
