Retro:

• What’s working: 
  • Consistent partnership meetings and deviation of responsibilities 
    • Creativity, strategic, and aligned with the vision of the school.  
    • Cohesiveness in fundraising commitment and building momentum 
  • Having a full committee
    • Four people for division of duties and adding to the content  
• What’s not working:
  • Fundraising goal - trying to get everyone to the goal
  • PBL: chaotic on how we source partners; 
  • Securing corporate sponsors - identifying the 'Why' looking for an entry point 
• What we learned:
  • For PBL - Communication templates, the board is focused on recruitment and the initial conversations, and Jocelyn focuses on the training. 
  • Corporate Sponsors - nurturing corporate relationships, so it's easier to ask. Tiered giving: how to support
    • Celebration of Learning - starting with the chant off and then moving to the boardroom to  have each grade level present out
• Actions:
  • Create a draft CRM by 7/19 - list of potential sponsors and a communication template and calendar (Toby)
    • Jocelyn to send list of fundraisers
    • Quarterly update for newsletter
