herland planning retreat
Herland board members, one former member, and a regular volunteer met last week to begin Herland’s strategic planning process. This is something we do every year or two so that we can focus our activities in ways that will best accomplish our mission: to provide resources to strengthen, enrich, and support women, and to promote a world free of prejudice, oppression, and exploitation.
Our planning session was preceded by a lengthy discussion about consensus—what it is, what it isn’t, and how it should work. We are also reviewing the results of our survey to see what types of activities our community wants. (Check back next month for a progress report.)
Many thanks to Tina Stiefmiller for facilitating our retreat!
