How exciting to meet with people you admire, share a vision and receive responses that they not only like the idea, but are willing to step up to help make it a reality! I've had some amazing conversations with potential board members over the last few weeks and all but one have given me an enthusiastic yes!
While I've certainly been offered recommendations, cautionary conversations and some excellent advice about important areas to consider in the development process, I haven't talked to a single person who has said "no" or "not interested". There is a great groundswell to build community engagement and develop a shared vision. I am so excited to get the details in place so we can begin the conversations on a community-wide level.
The rest of the week and most of next are focused on the details, budgets, board responsibility documents, policies and procedures and by-laws. It feels slow, but it's important work and must be in place in time for our first board meeting.
Exciting times here in Redmond and they are only going to get better!
