Recommendation: divide and complete the tasks, we are in a position to move soon, but we may need more ambitious time lines to complete all our tasks.
Perhaps the staff should conduct the actual program evaluation in the slow season. The board can set the criteria to evaluate the program(s).


Our programs are not bleeding the budget. They will consume some of our non-financial resources, that time could be put towards higher returning activities. We need to focus more attention towards revenue generation.
'''Action Item: Strategic Planning''' committee to report back to the board with a timeline and a proposal of how we, as a committee, can bring more value to the organization.
