The Champions of Change Identity Caucus June 27, 2019
The caucus is the perfect place to hold space for your community and brainstorm future advocacy efforts. These hour-long caucuses are reserved spaces for your group to meet their needs and address emerging issues, concerns, and successes within the selected identity group.
Caucus moderators (you!) are to focus on a broad topic and guide the discussion of attendees. Moderators should not spend more than 10-12 minutes introducing the topic. Moderators should invite questions and differing perspectives but not allow any one perspective or person to dominate the conversation.
