A planning retreat was held on Saturday, January 16, 2016 to begin developing a training model

seasoned volunteers develop other volunteers and bring in professionals to reinforce the facilitation
training when necessary.

A Facilitator Training Team Retreat was held on May 19, 2018 at the LA Bar Center, New Orleans,
