October and November are busy times for me as per usual, but in comparison to years past, I am either doing all that consulting and presentation work remotely and/or regionally. As much as I enjoy traveling and going out and about, NOT flying around the country for now is a welcome respite. I do wonder how us wayward teachers/facilitators/presenters will transition back into “travel mode”!
We’re starting to focus in on the “deliverables” for the Strategic Planning Project for Piedmont Arts in Martinsville VA. Last week we had a socially-distanced and masked work session with the Long Range Planning Committee, and were able to narrow down Goals and Key Strategies. Currently the leadership team consisting of the Executive Director, Board President, and Vice Chair of the committee are writing up the rough draft of the plan. The final draft will be shared with the entire board in mid-November so they can give feedback and if all goes well, the new Strategic Plan will be voted/approved by the board in early December. Here’s hoping! Pics from the session are below.
