On Thursday, March 5, the Northern Community Mediation Board of Directors held its annual Board Retreat at JAX in Charlevoix. Following a Happy Half Hour, President Kirstyn Horan led everyone in the ice breaker “What do I want to be when I grow up?” This was followed by a series of reports. The majority of the evening, however, was spent eating during while sharing ideas to answer the question “What are three goals we want to accomplish within the next three years?” At our next board meeting, we will narow the ideas down to three goals and then analyze “What strengths can be used to attain those goals?” and “What weaknesses will make it difficult to attain those goals?”
