DELIVERY Team
The Citizens' Assembly has two lead facilitators from TPXimpact. Their job is to ensure the smooth running of the assembly process and you will see them at the front of the room, sharing information about the process and introducing speakers and sessions. They are joined by a team of small group facilitators and session support staff who are on hand to make sure you have a good experience.
