Wrap-Up of Board Retreat
(This is a quite long wrap-up of the latest Board retreat held this past Saturday. Not all will want to wade through it but I can say it allowed me to see how the Board is interacting and some issues within the group. I believe that all seem to have high regard for Superintendent Banda.)
First, I have to say that this was a slightly odd Retreat as I had never been to this venue, The Hub Seattle, before. The set-up had us sitting in a seating area - with couches and chairs - and I sat as if I were part of the group (normally the visitors sit on the perimeter so I did feel like I was eavesdropping).
As I said before, I was the only outside visitor to the Retreat (unless someone came after 2:30 pm when I left).
What seems difficult to understand is how the Board has given over (nearly all) control to the Alliance about what the retreats will cover. I don't get it. As I previously mentioned, Directors Peaslee, DeBell and McLaren all said
