Development: The committee met and discussed case statements for the capital campaign. Mary Beth added that she got new inspiration from attending the NFCB conference. Debra and Brian Bateman would like to conduct a 4-hour board training, likely in October. At the retreat the discussion will focus on the capital campaign and its various planks. Lois asked how the mortgage retirement fits in with those planks. Katie added that the capital campaign is now designed to be a bigger, multi-year campaign.
