SPARK Annual Meeting Preview
what to do to prepare for Saturday's meeting
This Sunday, 9/27 from 2-5 @ Natick Co-Working, 1 South Ave, Natick, 2nd Fl
We're excited about this weekend's SPARK Kindness Annual Meeting! In order to get the most out of the meeting, below is more information about the agenda as well as helpful information that we would like to receive from you.
Tentative Schedule of Meeting (Agenda to Follow) (9/27 from 2-5pm)
- Introduction/Gathering/Election of Board Members
- Committee/Group Reports (finance, programming, fundraising, community outreach and volunteering)
- SPARK's Goals for the year and working on the "elevator pitch" & what we do
In addition, below are 3 ways to prepare for the meeting:
Board of Director Elections
We will be electing our Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. Please respond to Christine ASAP about whether you wish to serve this year. We are so grateful to our Board of Directors and all that they do to serve SPARK's mission of building kind, empowered and inclusive community.
We Need Your Bio!
If you have not submitted one yet, we would like a 1-2 paragraph bio of ALL regular SPARK TEAM MEMBERS (not just Board members) for our website and in other publications. (and a photo too!) Please email to Christine at cguthery@SPARKKindness.org when you get a chance. Bios may include: your background, what you're working on with SPARK and what inspires/interests you. (We will be revisiting these at our retreat & focusing on everyone's "superpower.")
Our Mission & "Elevator Pitch"
During the 3rd hour of the Annual Meeting, we will be working on crafting the best "elevator pitch" about SPARK. We will eventually make laminated notecards of this, so that you will all have something to refer to before you network! Go HERE to look at a rough outline/draft of the elevator pitch and we welcome all thoughts at the meeting.
Looking forward to seeing everyone and planning for the year ahead!
And make sure you register for the next "Resilient Parent" program (on Monday) on Global Awareness. We want to help make it a success. Register below!
