Goal Setting Retreat Preparation
FROM:
SUBJECT:
BACKGROUND
In preparation for the goal setting retreat on December 6, it is important that we are clear on the
purpose and expected outcomes of the retreat. I am going to meet with Kent Eklund, the retreat
facilitator, on Monday morning to discuss the retreat, the goal setting process, and any pre-work
that would facilitate a successful retreat.
At the work session, we will discuss information from my meeting with Kent Eklund, and clarify
the purpose and expected outcomes of the retreat.
PURPOSE AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES
From my perspective, the general purpose of the retreat is to share and discuss ideas about goals
we want to accomplish as a City over the next year, and to determine priorities among those
goals. The general expected outcome is consensus regarding a prioritized list of goals, and
reflecting those goals in a set of objectives for staff, and for the volunteer committees.
The information from Kent Eklund, and the discussion at the work session, will help us to flesh
out the purpose and expected.outcomes of the retreat.
