The IWCC Board of Directors met for a day-long retreat on January 8, 2011. It was a very informative meeting that should spur us to continue moving forward at a good pace! Here are some of the discussion topics:
- Artistic and Music Director Dr. Michael Murphy proposed scenarios for concerts for the 2011-2012 concert season
- Alice Barbut pointed out our needs in figuring out grant possibilities
- Bob Staab listed the top areas he feels should be priorities for the upcoming year: prioritize the mailing list, work on the fund drive, continue momentum from last year, and use the UI Library as a repository for our records
- Marketing Director Carolyn Radakovich discussed the rollout of our new name, as well as ticketing issues
- Barb Hayes outlined our upcoming "cabaret" fundraising event
- Helen Lombard suggested better avenues of communication between the Board and Members
- Holly McCollister is moving forward with a committee for the possibility of women of the Chorale choosing new dresses
- Cheryl Blackburn felt we could improve the database and pointed out web problems
- Janice O'Toole discussed operational issues
- Jim Reece could not attend, but had put together his Treasurer's Report for review
A number of decisions were made during this meeting, including:
- The number and type of concerts for next season, including orchestration for 2 of the concerts
- We'll move forward with looking for a commissioned work for the 2012-2013 season
- Our records will be moved to the UI Special Collections Department
- Funds will be appropriated for the creation of a new website with more appropriate software
- A Ticket Revamping Committee was installed
