Think Tank II Mini-Recap

Thanks to everyone who was at the Think Tank this past Saturday. We had a great time and made a lot of progress with regards to COFRA!

COFRA Think Tank, 2.23.08

In lieu of a full-on recap (which I trust other bloggers there will write, right?) I'd like to mention a number of highlights.

  • We developed the formal structure for COFRA, including naming a number of officers. (There are still a couple of open positions available!)
  • Progress reports were given on the Fat Fifty, and we decided to retackle the project by using smaller groups.
  • We came up with our second major campaign which will be getting some blog attention relatively soon - it involves video and good ol' fashioned creativity.
  • We talked about the COFRA website, what needs to be done, and people volunteered to work on it (yay!)
  • We also decided to look at expanding out the next Think Tank, tentatively scheduled for June, to be a weekend-long affair with workshops, and more!

We also established our first fundraising goal, which you'll hear about in the coming week or so.

The first Think Tank was devoted a little more to sussing out what should be done in order to move the movement forward. This one was a little smaller and more focused on what will be done within COFRA. Deadlines were set, volunteers spoke up, and a good time was had by all. I sincerely thank everyone for coming, and look forward to seeing you again soon!
