As part of our first Board meeting as a new Board, Dana will be leading us through a "Group Agreements" activity. The goal of this activity will be to identify some things we can agree on as a group regarding how we will work together. In advance of the Board meeting, please consider your thoughts around the following questions:
- What’s going to help us work well together as a Board?
- How will we create an atmosphere of safety, respect and trust?
- How should we set up our meetings so they work best for us?
- What will this look like for us as we interact virtually?

  • -- We do have an Owners Forum section planned in the meeting, so post your questions along the way and if we don't get to them in real time, we'll be sure to cover them in that section of the Agenda.
  • -- Turning your video on is not required, but in this time of disconnection, we would love to see your faces and we encourage you to use the video tool if you are able.
  • -- If you have a comment or suggestion that doesn't need discussion but you want to pass something along to us, the chat tool is great for that as well. Or, you are welcome to email the board at [email protected] with any additional thoughts or questions after this meeting.
