Part 1: Knowledge Check

Ask attendees these questions to ensure they understand the topic:

What is the purpose of a disclosure statement and when is it used?
What are the typical contents of a disclosure statement?
What exhibits are usually included with the disclosure statement?
What information does the disclosure statement order provide?
What types of notices are included with the disclosure statement, and what parties do they go to?

Part 2: Group Exercise

Lead a group discussion based on the exercise. To encourage collaboration, divide the attendees into groups to discuss the exercise, then have a representative from each group summarize their views to the larger group. Call on people to share their thoughts and ask others to respond.

Tip for remote sessions: use your web conferencing system’s breakout room feature to divide people into groups.

Share your own experiences and guidance, including:

Anecdotes and war stories (e.g., about a near-disaster or a tough negotiation)
