Short Description of Activity
This was our annual planning retreat that we do over 3 days and 2 nights at my cabin on the Alsea River in the Siuslaw NF. Chandra and I developed the agenda with issues and topics to discuss with time to plan activities and focus areas for the coming year.
Reflection/Evaluation
We got a lot done. We had 6 of our 11 members of our leadership team in attendance. We set our monthly meeting schedule in stone, decided to reinstate in-person advocacy nights and set a time to visit potential new venues for that and came up with a committee to set up quarterly BroadChats and BroadTalks. In addition to time spent in meetings, we spent an afternoon exploring a state park near the Oregon Coast and saw many varieties of mushrooms, eagles, hawks, newts, a praying mantis and a spotted owl!
