Beth presented steps and options to move strategic planning forward.  

Karen and her team have provided input on a draft strategic plan containing goals.

Beth requested Board-input on how to plan, prioritize & measure progress on those goals using the following questions to guide discussion:

1. Do the goals seem like the right ones for our mission and for the next three years? 

2. Are the strategies suggested the highest-leverage, most focused ways to achieve the growth indicated for that goal? If they need revising, propose either new strategies or revisions of the drafted ones for Karen and her team to consider. 

3. What feedback could help strengthen the tactics Karen's team implements to drive improvement? 

4. What are the most urgent steps for the team to take this year to achieve the targeted improvement? What can wait until years 2 and 3?

Breakout sessions were held to advance ideas on options to assist with goal-attainment.

Beth provided an update on the identification of new Board members.
