Like you, we're in the midst of moving board and committee meetings to online or phone meetings, rescheduling events, working remotely to accomplish programs of work that serve our community, revamping campaign plans, reaching out to donors and key stakeholders by phone, email, and social media, and more. The causes we advance are too important to delay!
Our last Good Advice Over Coffee (GAOC) of this year was titled, “Strategic Planning and THE Best Visual to Help Focus Your Efforts.” We selected that topic, in part, due to the volume of strategic planning assignments we have been managing, but also because we find that most staff and volunteers see strategic planning as a chore – when it doesn’t have to be. We’ve learned that using a simple organizational chart can align the efforts of staff and board members to get this important job done.
We announced last week that we are launching Good Advice Over Coffee (a monthly one-hour small group gathering of community cause champions) and asked you to rank your choice of discussion topics and reserve your seat. THANK YOU to all who responded! We now have a full house for our first one next Thursday, April 11th, 8AM-9AM at Common Desk in Fort Worth, but we have started a waiting list, so simply reply to this email or email Scott Smith to add your name.
