TJD Board Retreat - August 2003

The weather was beautiful and the Mountain view spectacular as usual. Two and a half days working through a dense agenda made for some tough work, but little time to play. Without a doubt it was one of our more intense retreats. We were able to get a lot of work done while pinpointing some necessary growing.

Overview of Accomplishments:

Orientation of board members
Installation ceremony for new board members
Discussion of reorganization of Program Consultant's position
Finalized covenant between the Mountain and TJD Board
Review of District Executive's (DE) evaluation
Board and DE renewed their covenant
Strategic planning for growth, RE, programming and fiscal
Approved recommendation from DE to solicit proposal from consultant for governance transition.
The Board affirmed the work of the newly organized Growth and Development Council.
