This 3 day/6 hour live RTI course covers the essentials of being a witness in an administrative proceeding, including preparing written and oral testimony, taking the witness stand, and responding to both direct and cross-examination. Taught by experts from QSI consulting and Florida Commissioner Andrew Fay, How to Be An Effective Witness is directed to all those who prepare, deliver, or review testimony in state regulatory proceedings. It reviews the institutional context of administrative agencies and how they implement their key purpose, the promotion of the public interest, through witness testimony. The course provides guidelines for writing sound and persuasive testimony and insights to the way in which commissioners, judges, and other “finders of fact” review and evaluate testimony.
