An understanding of natural process, as well as human interactions on a local and global level, has been the primary focus of Dr. Barbara Joyce Frank’s career.   

As an Educator/ Trainer in Europe for fifteen years, Doc developed and delivered training programs to a diverse population of U.S. military and civilian personnel and to local nationals of numerous European cultures and ethnicities.  

Upon returning to the United States, she has held senior level managerial positions at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy, as well as a senior Congressional staff position on the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology.  During her tenure with the Federal Government she earned her Masters of Science degree in Organizational Development adding to her PhD in Geology/Environmental Science.  Doc’s Masters Thesis research was on “Improving Effective Communication between the Scientists and Engineers at the U. S. Department of Energy and the Public Stakeholders and Native American Tribes.”  Ten years ago, Dr. Frank created a consulting practice to provide expertise to organizations in meeting facilitation, team-building, diversity and communications.  Doc created Meeting Oasis specializing in unique venues with supportive natural environments ideal for corporate and non-profit meetings, retreats and workshops.
