Yesterday I ran the strategy planning session for WOFAD. Our attendees were the stakeholders of the organization. 3 village chiefs, the Bishop (board of directors) WUSC country director, key program volunteer coordinators, members of NAC - National Aids Coalition. Prior to the meeting I vetted the agenda with the WOFAD executive director to ensure I was being culturally sensitive, never know when something as simple as an introduction might be incorrect.
Learnt a few things, one we start and end with prayer - okay thats fine.
We don't put timing on the agenda, just the start time and then we ask people when they want breaks, for how long, when they want lunch, for how long etc. Yeah so anybody who knows me, can figure I didn't do so well with this plan, in fact I didn't follow it.
It was a great day, the committment was inspiring, the group engaged.
