There were no "official" minutes/notes taken at last week's LINC retreat. Maybe I should have taken notes to keep on file, but I came as a participant and wanted to concentrate fully on the discussions and learning aspects of the retreat.

There were no "official" minutes/notes taken at last week's LINC retreat. Maybe I should have taken notes to keep on file, but I came as a participant and wanted to concentrate fully on the discussions and learning aspects of the retreat.
To recap briefly, the first day concluded with a list of activities/actions to be undertaken within specific time frames. Below is the list. You will note that many are familiar . . . that is because they had already been identified at our past two meetings. However, there are some new items included in our list, and Paul Axtell was diligent about us putting a time frame on our proposed actions.

On the second day, we designated our top priorities and assigned task forces to begin work in these areas. Again, some of the TFs had already been established; some were new. Each TF broke into separate working groups, then reported back to the full SAC membership to obtain input and clarify tasks. The consensus was that each TF will continue their assigned tasks and report again at the July 21 meeting. Names listed are members responsible for reporting.

Paul Axtell's e-mail address is cpdconsult@aol.com. He welcomes comments and questions and offered his support and assistance with future meetings, conference calls, or any other areas we might suggest. He also provided a booklet entitled "Working Effectively in a Group Setting." One of these books was left on the table when we were cleaning up -- so if you are missing your copy, I'll bring it to the July meeting. I will loan my copy to anyone who could not attend.
