[Ailist] Non-profit board and committee chair summitt help

[Patricia Lustig]

Neil,
The question that immediately sprang to my mind was:

What kind of a synagogue do you want for your children and grandchildren?
What kind of a synagogue do you think they want?  What does that community
feel like?

It should be a great experience!

Subject: [Ailist] Non-profit board and committee chair summitt help


I will be leading a  one day(I hope)session for the board and committee
chairs of our synagogue --about 30 people. They have NEVER met before and
there is a desire to develop stronger lay leaders. Rather than propose any
"training" I suggested to the small group leading this effort that we take
the board et al offsite for a day to focus on the future--that is, what do
they want THEIR board to be like in the future. Whatever comes out of Design
would then form the basis for future work. 

My question is if anyone has some really good questions for the protocol
given that some of these people are not on the official board and may have
never had a board experience. 
Any help greatly appreciated.


Neil

PS: I looked on the Commons and could not find anything. And is there any
way to search our archives by topic without having to do it month by month?.
Am I  missing something?
