The two-day workshop is intended to sharpen the skills of managers and directors in writing policies for Statia and Saba.
Instructors Theo Telting and Willem de Vlaming have wideranging backgrounds in the civil service, consultancy and academic tutoring. They have conducted similar workshops for St. Maarten and other Caribbean islands. The two instructors have a combined 20 years of experience in the field.
The two instructors will be covering a vast number of topics, ranging from working through the process involved in developing a policy statement, proposal, or initiative, and how to write for a range of audiences.
