2010 Action Planning Meeting

Joe Geniesse and I have been actively working on securing a facilitator for a 2010 Action Planning session for the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition. I understand that the group is agreeable to participating in a special meeting for this purpose.

As a result, here is the timeline that we have worked out:
· April 7, 2010 Facilitator Catherine Neiswender will attend our regular meeting to touch base with the group and clarify expectations
· Special Meeting will be held in April after the regular meeting-date to be determined (share your preference on the Doodle poll below)
· May 5, 2010 Facilitator Catherine Neiswender will again attend our regular meeting for an hour long debrief/sharing session on the results of the special meeting.

Hopefully the outlined plans above will help move our collective housing work forward.

I ask that you take a moment now to vote on when you would like the special meeting to take place by accessing the following Doodle Poll http://www.doodle.com/qbwupknywe5759d9
Your response is essential in helping us to determine which date might be best to hold this meeting.
