Please add in longer break - it's hard for west coasters to not have a longer lunch break and to stay engaged (while hungry!)

Take care of myself

BREAKS

2024-09-18 20:06:40 UTC

There's not really an opportunity for west coast folks to eat lunch :(

Scheduling and prioritizing personal retreats for myself

Reframe your advocacy

Let's meet in person by the beach and drink lots of coconut water eheh

Post-meeting: share resources, templates, examples, guidelines, etc. All gems!

Sometimes it feels lonely, but when you start sharing, someone chimes in to say they've felt/experienced the same thing. And then the world feels so much smaller and less lonely.

The breakouts were short. I really enjoyed them, but we could only barely scratch the surface in our conversations.

3-5 people per breakout group was a good mix

Networking & Getting to know other volunteers

2024-09-18 22:09:53 UTC

Would have liked more networking/breakout time to connect with other PEAK volunteers and build my PEAK network/deepen my PEAK relationships. I didn't know who was in the room (geographic location/role/type of funder/PEAK role, etc.)

PEAK Info

2024-09-18 22:12:32 UTC

I would have loved to have seen Satonya, even if just for 5 minutes, and to have an opportunity to hear about the vision for PEAK, get a sneak peek of future PEAK activities/the conference (I know we got a very little bit of this from Jesse talking about the upcoming Journal), learn about any PEAK news before it is released to rest of membership, etc. Help engage volunteers by making them feel 'in the know'/part of the inner circle!

More movement!

2024-09-18 22:14:22 UTC

Apart from a 10 minute break and a few short breakouts we sat and listened a lot. It would have been good to build in some movement/activities - 3.5 hours is a long time with no movement and limited direct engagement.

Collective Wisdom

2024-09-18 22:17:07 UTC

What an amazing group (sometimes 100 plus people) in one room together! What an opportunity! Did PEAK have no strategy or question that they could have engaged this collective wisdom to explore? It seems like a missed opportunity.

Open early!

You should consider opening zoom up 10-15 minutes early for casual conversation before events like this.
