Day(s) of Creation: Creation Didn’t Take Just One Day!
Together, let’s develop some of the most fruitful ideas that emerged from our April 26 “Day of Creation” About a hundred and fifty of us discussed a multitude of innovative ideas that promise to enhance our mission and outreach, and provide new resources for long-term sustainability (click here to see the report from that day, including idea posters; click here for an overview of our visioning campaign, “Reaching Up, Reaching In, Reaching Out”; click here for a mid-summer update on the progress of the campaign). Session and our Vision and Vitality Team have created five “Idea Clusters” around the ideas that generated the most enthusiasm. We are now forming “Idea Teams” to develop specific business plans around those ideas – which are not set in concrete, but subject to further change.
Join an Idea Team!
Each Idea Team will be facilitated by a member from Session and the Vision and Vitality Team. During the summer and fall, each Idea Team will form a well-researched business plan/plans. These business plans will then be reviewed by the Session, who will decide which plans to authorize.
