We still need a facilitator! Laurel 1.0 is a possibility, Valerie might know some one also.
The Agenda
After hearing back from the collective, the two discussion items with the broadest support by a large margin:
- What do you envision the ideal future of Free Geek to be? (Morning discussion)
- Staff structure (Afternoon discussion)
Who's Coming?
The Retreat Task Force recommends to staff that we invite committed staff members to the entirety of the retreat.
Pre-Retreat All Staff Meeting
- Why: improve communication, improve access to information and decision-making, create an avenue to hear what more Free Geekers think, see each other's pretty faces all in a room together, solve problems, probably eat donuts or something... Also it's never happened before!
- We will hold an all-staff meeting on Tuesday, May 25th from 9:30 AM-10:30 AM
- Facilitator: maybe Jiro, maybe Richard?
- Some suggested agenda topics:
- Clarity in mobility within staff categories
- Long term planning for production areas (ex: how will we need to adapt Laptop Build to accommodate an increase in laptop donation and demand.)
- Cross-department staffing - to improve communication and organizational security for when staff go on vacation.
