I particularly enjoyed the segment about how to show appreciation for our board members for their contributions to your program/facility. While a retreat may or may not be something people are willing to engage in during their spare time, I thought a scholarship was particularly effective form of appreciation, regognition and propagates a living legacy for that individual's name to convey their contributions and signifigance to the program.

My core take-away from this segment was to have effective and productive board meetings it begins with effective management and leadership. Having organized, clear objectives and the time scheduled for meetings to be led by chairpersons capable of managing large groups to maintain prioritization of the objectives and facilitate the producitivty and streamlining of conrtributions establishes the foundation for a successful meeting.
