Drawing on their own experiences and extensive research, the authors include information on adapting events for special populations, issues around providing food and incentives, cost-saving ideas, and additional resources.

  • Invitations
  • Agendas
  • Sign-in sheets
  • Evaluation forms
  • Activity worksheets
  • Handouts
