Where to Start?

Working on a couple of things as a result of a conversation I had with another nonprofit founder. I've been thinking about this one a lot. She had recommended that our board be between eight and twelve people. The main reason being you'll have more people to dole out responsibilities. It would help tremendously in separating different committees. 

I was going to pull together another board meeting, but wonder if I shouldn't get an agenda that includes this process. We could use people with development, legal, and accounting experience on it. I should have the existing board members help pull together names. I think I'll do that.

On another note, I've been thinking of just pursuing some of the things I know we need to get going. We need a blog, a Facebook page, a website. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for. The board doesn't meet often enough to get those areas addressed. I think I will start those and at least bring them up to speed at the next board meeting. Also, I do think we need an event to plan for. This would help in terms of coming up with membership and $$.

I still think the whole thing is doable. I just want to make sure I don't get too far away from my original intent, which is to grow steel pan in the Rockies.
