TO REGENERATE THE HALL, WE HAD TO REFRESH THE ORGANIZATION

 Interviews  focus group  strategic plan  Amend the 100-year-old Act of incorporation  Overhaul the by-laws – much more open membership /

move from “benefits” to cultural mission

 Create deadlines rooted in opportunities: For example,

“We want to get our organizational restructuring done before we pursue funding for the major repairs we need to see.”
