Outreach Board Retreat

This past weekend the Outreach Board held a retreat focused around the purpose of Outreach and some strategic planning for the board. We reflected on why we particpate in outreach and what is means to us, why Plymouth is such a strong vehicle for outreach. We then looked at some strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and focused on some issues. We then came up with some actions and resources needed to address key issues.
