On the 26 November 2022, 23 Friends of the Prom members gathered in the Tidal River Theatrette (including two members online) to discuss what it means to be “A Friend of the Prom”. This was a full day event, led by professional facilitator Patrick O’Callaghan from Deliberate Impact, who provided us with energetic and thoughtful direction.
The Friends of the Prom committee has been considering how to plot the best course forward for our organisation so that we continue to be an effective volunteer group. The workshop was designed to help us develop a strategic plan for Friends of the Prom by answering questions such as – what values guide our activities; where should we focus our efforts; and how do we maintain a strong volunteer base?
The workshop was one step along the way to developing our strategic plan. The Committee now has Patrick’s report to consider before reporting back to members.
Friends of the Prom would like to thank the Victorian Government and Coastcare for making the review possible by providing us with a grant that enabled us to engage a professional expert.
