CHAMBER MUSIC WEST formerly Chamber Music West
President's Annual Report May 11, 2006
The 29th season of the Chamber Music West has brought about a time of great change and accomplishment.
After several years of shrinking income, the Board entered the 2005-2006 season with the realization that raising membership prices and sponsorships alone would not take care of our financial position. We knew we had to concentrate on how we do business and we needed a roadmap to guide us into the future: a strategic plan.
A Strategic Planning Retreat was held in October 2005, led by consultant Herbert Paine. At this retreat, the Board identified the key issues as:
- financial sustainability
- organization structure
- staff and Board responsibilities
- the need for better definition of our priorities as an organization
- what resources would be needed to meet these priorities
As a result, the Board determined that its immediate focus should be placed in three areas:
- alignment regarding the Chamber Music Society's mission, vision and values
- new venue - what it should do for us, say about us and allow us to do
- how to continue to work on the core strategies: program, marketing, fund development and infrastructure
