Facilitator's Role

A key part of TAB’s program is the Facilitator. Their role is to guide the discussions of the group making sure they stay “on track”, preventing any one member from dominating the discussion and making sure that all members contribute. He/she also contributes to the discussions with his/her wealth of knowledge and experience. Their main responsibility may be summarized as “the responsibility to ensure that all members get the value that they expect, and more.”

Facilitators also conduct private coaching sessions with each member of his/her Boards. These coaching sessions are intended to guide members through the issues they face in a private and confidential manner. They may also provide consulting services to their TAB Members and to other contacts developed through the TAB System.

Each Facilitator has successfully completed the extensive three-week TAB Facilitator Training Program, which includes one week at TAB Headquarters in Denver, Colorado and two weeks in the Facilitator's territory. Facilitators also attend semiannual training sessions at TAB Headquarters in Denver. Within PA, Ohio and the Delaware Valley, TAB PA & Ohio Valley conducts periodic meetings between the region’s Facilitators to exchange information and ideas. TAB provides operations manuals, marketing materials, monthly and quarterly newsletters and ongoing support. We are continuously conducting research and development to further enhance its existing programs for the benefit of both Facilitators and Members.
