I had to let this stew a bit in my head. We need two 2 meetings/yr to adequately consider the more convoluted questions we still have to grapple with. From a cost perspective, it makes lots of sense to have one of those at the same time at MOTM. IMO, we should pretty much expect one in March and one in early Sept.
The only question to me is whether we make this a full-day meeting or 1 1/2 days. If it's full-day, at least 2, probably 3, of us won't be able to leave until Monday because of time zones. We can survive missing one Board member for this; it won't be the last time.
I lean toward having this one Sunday and 1/2 Monday. Here's why.
- We'll be taking into consideration results from MOTM and the January Acumatica Summit and other Acumatica results.
- We need to address the spring Sage Summit.
- If we want to make the Academy progress, there will be significant results and questions to address.
- We need to start discussing how we find Moira's replacement. Her term runs through March 2021, but that means we like need to make an offer by Fall 2020. So March is right on top of that.
- IMO, we will recognize by 1Q20 that we need to address the group's marketing to current members and to the outside world. We have virtually no strategy for that yet.
I think we need the time on Monday to do this, but we consider just Sunday. What are your thoughts, all?
