2013 Managers & Director’s Schedule
2013 Retreat Agenda
Join us for a unique retreat where the agenda and discussion topics are created by the managers and directors who attend. You are invited to submit your own requests for discussion topics. Any topic from very specific to broad conceptual issues are welcome.
GALA “Best in Show” Fair
For our opening event Friday afternoon, each chorus is invited to bring a visual representation of a “best idea” from 2012: unique programming theme, outreach strategy, social media campaign, fundraising event...you name it. Tables will be available for your presentation (think Science Fair). Be creative! Audio, visuals, costumes, photos, and handouts are all encouraged. In addition, bring copies of a short summary of your “best idea” with your contact information so that delegates can connect if they have questions or want to follow up.
