Mary Ann LeRay, Executive Director, and Cathy Smith, Strategic Planning Consultant led the training for the afternoon. The Board of Directors reviewed the 2022-2025 Strategic Plan and made no changes. The group worked together on 2022 SWOT analysis to determine areas of growth and areas that need fine tuning. We wrapped up the day with discussing the power of committees in creating a strong foundation for rotational leadership.
