This weekend I spent two long—but not boring or dreadful—days up at Snowbird with the board for AIGA Salt Lake. With new members making up half the board, it was great to share ideas, make friends, and develop our collective vision for the chapter this year. Over the two days, 17 board members (two were only there part time, with one unable to attend) selected 5 words to describe our vision, developed specific goals for the year generated many great ideas for programs, initiatives, partnerships and events. Any retreat wouldn’t be worth it wihtout some antics, which included wiping out on the alpine slide, riding a mechanical bull, and playing Gwen Stefani’s Yummy way too loud while playing pool (rather unsuccessfully). Overall it was a fantastic weekend filled with productivity and fun.
