Discussion of board training opportunity with Alberta Tourism Board Development
 
1.5 days of board development available
workshop free of charge
pick a date
75% of board attend
provide information about organization, location, etc.
free of charge
need 6-8 weeks notice
Dec 1 or 2nd, or into the new year
 
Are we interested in this type of training?
 
Nancy: good to keep them separate (annual board retreat), and think about this for Jan/Feb
Chris: have taken this type of board development before. Good program, but quite high level - need to be clear about where board is at, and what we need
Jeremy: we'd have to make sure it was of value to us - appropriate level / content
Michael: could image it being to general
Nancy: could take back to them the kinds of things we want to work on, and find out if they are able to do that
Jeremy: get a sense of how valuable this would be
Nancy: see if they can customize agenda
Chris: they do (customize agenda) - it's a conversation (know people who work in this area), they want to provide things that are useful to board (not too generic)
Jonathon: if we can customize agenda, could we condense it
Chris: last time we did it, it was one evening
Jeremy: could go into strategic planning instead (but this group doesn't do it)
Jonathon: strategic planning help might be more appropriate
Chris: could get a referral from them
Nancy: budget item
Jeremy: inquire into what level / items in training we need (customized, length of time), and where might we go for faclilitation of strategic planning

Some of the details in the budget will change, subject to staff and board input, but the board should come to agreement on what level of budget deficit we are willing to proceed with.
