How do we keep our trustees excited and engaged?
Notes from Greg
- Meeting with grant winners engages trustees and connects them to the projects they're funding. - Boston has 26 members, so about 10-14 show up each time and vote on two grants. - Halifax has 30 members, and does three rounds (first round prune, finalist selection, judging a live event) with 10 people, so everyone plays a role somewhere in the funnel. - In SF, forming personal relationships between the trustees has helped sustain things. - In Pittsburgh, meetings are very inefficient, because they're basically social events. Wine, beer, and food slow down the voting, in a good way :) No virtual call ins allowed. -
