How have you turned a program cancellation into a constructive scenario?
-
Every participant has joined because they have interest, questions, or concerns in the program. Address these and make sure they feel heard. Participants will feel satisfied.
-
To manage disappointment when a program is cancelled, help participants find and register for similar programs they may be interested in. Collect contact information from interested parties and reach out to them when/if the program is rescheduled. If participants have already arrived for a cancelled program, see if a staff member may be available to step in and do an impromptu program, such as a story time for children or a tour of facilities. For story time programs and tours, it's helpful to have a ready-made kit with instructions and supplies that can be pulled out in "emergencies," such as when the staff member planning to conduct the program calls in sick.
