- Executive Director - FACE OF THE AGENCY - out in the community, advocating for transit issues, political force with strong local / state contacts and industry knowledge. Need to attend events & meeetings with board members as back-up
- Staff - working with ED and board to fill administrative roles
- Communications - marketing / social media agent? Or volunteer role? Going for a corporate look? Or more grass-roots vibe?? Do we have budget for a real marketing firm? (What were we paying Thrive PR?)

- More frustration with lack of follow through on initiatives than “burn-out”
- Have the BIG LIFT objectives to work towards, but also have  achievable goals to create momentum and “wins” for the agency
- Diversify the workload for board and members - empower engagement

- Transit Symposium is a good idea - gets all the “folks” in one room - facilitate various groups to engage and work toward common goals
- Middle Man between existing partnerships
- Think about who benefits?  Work with groups who are going to help push our goals forward, creating win-win’s / alliances where we can share the lift with others who benefit too.  The easiest sell is convincing others to make more money.
