Internal Communication – the listserv is not enough, we need to have frequent expanded internal communication including  a town meeting.

Each board member will pick one focal area and lead the effort.

Development Strategic Goals

Launch SPM fundraising effort for individual and corporate giving, led by a board member with a general member chairing. This campaign is for both individual and corporate sponsor levels. Must be fully transparent to our membership as to what we are doing with the funds that we want to raise. We need to have metrics on what is a win on each one of the focal points.

Mine the membership to find individuals who will lead? Develop a member recruitment kit.
