AWAL PLANNING TEAM
We recommend that a planning team be identified within your organization to coordinate all activities around the AWAL Workshop (preparation, implementation and follow-up). It is useful to have a senior administrator as a team member to act as project sponsor and to lend an authority to the process. The team should include everyone who will be involved in the offering of the Workshop. The person to be identified as the facilitator is generally a member of the planning team for both the first and then for all subsequent AWAL Workshops.
Depending upon how many individuals are on your planning team, an action item list, including who is responsible for what task, with due dates, can streamline planning and eliminate redundancy.

The facilitator has three main roles to play in facilitating an AWAL Workshop. This may seem to be an over-simplification of the job, but all of the many tasks to be performed can be classified into one of these three main roles.
