Dear
Teammates:
Matt and I
met last night on the Development process document that I
shared with you in late December. The attached, revised
draft of the envisioned development process reflects our
discussion and my efforts to incorporate changes based on
Matt’s input.
My
understanding is that we are meeting on March 2, 2026 at 7
p.m. and that this document will be on the agenda. Once it
has been modified and approved by the team, it will need to
go to Tas for official Board approval. At which time, we
can proceed with its implementation. I have volunteered to
create the spreadsheets mentioned in the attached document
and to work with Matt to bring these up-to-date to reflect
endowment giving to this point. We can then issue thank you
letters belatedly to all those who have made contributions
to date. We will also need to work with Bruce Gelin to
modify the giving page on our Web site to reflect the
information requirements for our process and we will also
need to create complementary paper forms for both
solicitation and gift acknowledgement. If we move
expeditiously, we can be ready for the March 29th
concert.
Anna, please
let me know if the March 2nd date is confirmed
and I will send out a Zoom invite to the team. Thanks much,
Richard
