CGPS Board Meeting Summary – Saturday, March 9, 2019

Attending: Brian, Susan, Joan, Esther, Peter, Frances, Dan, Willa, Moira

We started with an hour long process group which worked very well. Each person had the space to talk about feelings and experiences w/ CGPS and workshop planning and be heard.
We need to postpone  CGPS/Fat Mouth Improv workshop. We expect workshop to occur in summer or fall. We are working out the details and will post soon. 
 
We developed some new guidelines for workshops: 
  1. From now on: EACH program will have a Program Committee Chair who has an interest in that particular program.
  2. Each PC committee will be determined for a particular workshop and will split up the tasks – CEUs, SRAHEC, food, venue, etc.
  3. There will be a workshop checklist on Trello.
