About Facilitators Network:

The Facilitators Network was established in 1992 by Richard and Maria Maguire. The network is a self-organising Community of Practice with more than 700 subscribers and is run by a small core group. There is no formal membership – everyone is welcome. There is a closed email list from which we send meeting reminders once per month. Meetings are experiential. They attract between 25 and 40 participants including independent facilitators, trainers and consultants, volunteers and those employed in business, public sector, not for profits and the community sector. A donation of $5 per participant covers outgoings.
