Next year we may want to repeat sessions or involve people in teams so they can learn more from sessions they don't attend. Planning for the next meeting needs to start now. Dave Mogk and Cathy will send letters to senior administrators for sessions leaders acknowledging the session leaders contribution to the workshop. John reported that we seem to be on the right track, that he received much input. A working group is emerging to address this and other business planning issues.
Some research is needed on advertising and non-profit revenue streams.
An electronic survey to get input around this and other key emerging issues was recommended. Developing budgets for the future is an important part of the business planning. The business plan needs to move in parallel with the strategic plan. We need to develop a source of funds to support our development efforts. Mary will check with UCAR regarding the use of some portion of overhead for development efforts.
