Purpose
The Program Facilitator – The Clara Project will facilitate content for Gamma Phi Beta’s The Clara Project (TCP). TCP is a series of virtual learning opportunities for members seeking to develop their board-level competencies and high-level leadership skills. This program will feature eight virtual, interactive sessions that will also include small group work, self-assessments and exposure to both high-level Gamma Phi Beta leaders and current International Council initiatives. This guided learning experience will include governance model education, board leadership roundtable discussions, study of personality types, conflict styles, case studies modeled after former or current Sorority issues and more.

Curriculum delivery in TCP is divided between small group and large group sessions. Individuals in the Program Facilitator – Executive Council Retreats role will deliver content during the small group sessions. This includes delivering program curriculum, facilitating discussion, fostering relationships with and between participants, engaging in regular communication with TCP large group facilitator(s) and providing feedback. The role is open to members of Gamma Phi Beta who are in good standing (current on payment of annual international alumnae dues, or a Life Loyal member). Previous facilitation experience and/or participation in past programs offered by the Leadership Development Committee (LDC) strongly encouraged.
