October marked the first annual Advisory Board retreat. Eight dedicated board members and two energetic interns forfeited their standard leisure weekend activities to summit in Washington D.C, performing strategic long-term planning on behalf of the organization. Some local and some flying across the country to attend, each board member brought their thinking cap and a positive outlook for the growth and future of the organization. Assembled was a diverse collection of professional and academic backgrounds, wisdom and important life experiences to bring to the table. Topics for evaluation included communications, outreach, fundraising, administration and programs. As a result of the hard work and brainstorming, a cohesive business plan is in the works with a focus on Roots of Development’s long-term vision and goals for the future. This plan will be an essential tool for the organization and its members as Roots begins to grow and evolve. The plan will also be an important informational guide for investors considering the future outlook of our current and potential programs.
