ExchangeEveryDay Past Issues

• In conjunction with the CEO, board chair and/or Retreat Steering Committee, develop an agenda with two or three specific goals or outcomes.  It is much better to go into depth on a few issues than to spend the entire retreat on too many topics leaving little achieved.
   
  
• Consider requiring "homework' to be completed prior to the retreat for those attending, such as reading a specific book or articles to enable a more thoughtful and educational discussion.
   
  
• It is crucial to involve every attendee and encourage them to express their ideas and suggestions.
   
  
• Select a comfortable place, preferably away from the office or where the daily working of the organization take place.
