Moderator

Mission

The Moderator ensures the meeting runs smoothly, on time, and with clear, fair handling of questions and discussion.

Role Description

The Moderator is responsible for maintaining the structure and flow of each meeting. This includes managing the schedule, pacing discussions, fielding questions, and ensuring that all participants have a fair and orderly environment in which to speak. The Moderator is the anchor of the room — steady, neutral, and focused on process rather than authority. This role carries no supervisory duties and is designed to support the group by keeping the meeting aligned with its agenda.

Scope Boundaries

• Runs the clock — keeps the meeting on schedule
• Manages the queue — fields questions and ensures fairness
• Maintains order — prevents derailment without being heavy‑handed
• Guides transitions — moves the group from one segment to the next
• Not responsible for: logistics, content decisions, leadership, or managing people

What Success Looks Like

• Meetings start and end on time
• Participants feel heard and respected
• Discussions stay on track
• The room feels calm, structured, and fair
• The Moderator’s presence is felt but never overbearing
