Upcoming: Civility Training Workshop in Atlanta, GA

We are pleased to announce that on September 21, Institute co-founders Tomas Spath and Cassandra Dahnke will be conducting a Civility Training Workshop in the Atlanta area.

For those who are not aware, participants in Civility Training Workshops learn what civility makes possible, and what incivility prevents. The half-day program includes four sessions that feature tips on cultivating and maintaining civility in the workplace and in life, as well as activities and discussions that explore issues of:

  • How to have productive conversations across seemingly insurmountable ideological divides.
  • How to become an active listener.
  • How to take advantage of ideological diversity to increase productivity and achieve goals.
  • And what the Institute for Civility in Government can accomplish as people join this growing movement.

This Civility Training workshop will take place on Saturday, September 21 from 9 am to 2 pm at the Holiday Inn Express Airport at: 4601 Best Road, College Park, GA 30337. Admission to the event is $50 per person. For registration and details, please contact LaRita Reid via email at [email protected], or by telephone at (404) 326-7011.
