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
