Description of Work Done
Co-facilitated and co-designed several community conversations throughout NH, a project called NH Together. Devon, who came as a reference through the New Hampshire Listens facilitator network, focused on important details of designing the experience and facilitation to help participants feel welcomed and included. Steve was a co-facilitator with Devon and his predecessor, Martha Madsen, noted "He is great at noticing what is not being said and asking important and well-phrased questions when needed. He is completely without defensiveness. Devon goes above and beyond what he is paid for. He reads background materials and shows up for community events and online meetings in order to be more fully informed about our organization and process. I highly recommend Devon Skerrit for work facilitating dialogues, focus groups, and team engagement activities."
