Questions for 2012

Some questions I have as we begin this year…

Who are we?

What defines us?

What are we known for, or what do we want to be know for?

Why should someone support us rather than another group? (There are so many choices.)

How are we different from the other clubs, ministries?

How do we communicate this in a meaningful way?

What are our goals?

Growth? How much?

Financial? For us, for International, how much?

Events? Which ones?

Impact? What do we want to accomplish?

How much can we do each year? 

Budgets

Time budget…. if our member’s time is valuable, where do we direct it?

Financial budget … what do we invest in? 

How will this help accomplish our goals?

What are our strengths? How do they contribute to our goals? What needs to stay the same?

Where are we weak? How can we get stronger? What needs to change?

As a member, what do you want from this ministry?

What commitments do we have right now?
