2014 Board Retreat at Pescadero
The board had a wonderful retreat at Irma Velasquez's Pescadero ranch on January 6. We reviewed our 2013 goals, which amazingly were exceeded in many ways. We discussed ways to nurture membership growth, build more involvement, and nurture our chapter community. We also have some exciting goals for 2014 that involve a workshop day at Djerassi, applying for the SOMArts curatorial grant in the Fall, engaging collectors, developing our PR bench strength and many more.
