Popular Post SuperSaderFan Posted September 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi, sitting in the Theatre at the IAM headquarters in Hyde Park on the 3rd day of our annual retreat weekend. All too often I read about the negative things going on in our activity. It is worth sharing that what we do on an annual basis as it is a very positive and motivating weekend. We tie in our annual Golf tournament on Friday when people are arriving ahead of the meetings. We have moved the meetings to the Marriott in Quincy to accommodate the majority of the 50 Board members coming in from out of state. The Golf tournament was a huge success despite battling through the rain. We maxed out sponsors and players and raised over $60K net. The Board retreat is run on Saturday 9 - 6 at the Marriott and today a half day at our building in Hyde Park. Last night we hosted a IAM volunteer appreciation night at the House of Blues in Boston - this was a first and a huge success. The Board covers numerous topics during the weekend including: reviewing & updating our strategic plan, 2018 year in review, getting a view of the business plan for the next 3 years including a focus on the 80th anniversary, a coaching session on raising money and "how to ask", review of the budget for 2019, approval of strategic plan adjustments, M&A update and finally Health & safety update. Today at the building we review the Board survey, all program updates including BAC, and a focus on our largest Asset - the Building. Running a successful non profit is a huge commitment and we are fortunate to have a great BOD. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 And some might have asked how Boston is getting better. A great update SSF. May such reports from the stronger corps help those who might be struggling. It may help the DCI family survive and grow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The January board consortium provides a great opportunity for corps to learn and share best practices. There was great turn out in 2018. Looking forward to 2019’s sessions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
