GLS Administrative Retreat Planning Form
A retreat is a meeting that is typically designed and organized specifically to facilitate the ability of a group to step back from their day-to-day demands and activities for an extended period of concentrated discussion, dialogue, and strategic thinking about the organization’s future or about specific issues.  Some of the benefits of an administrative retreat include:
     1 - Retreats are hard work and require long periods of intense, uninterrupted discussion
     2 - Participants are less likely to be interrupted by phone calls if they are away from the office
     3 - Participants can better focus on the topics under discussion
     4 - Participants are more like to stay for the entire time
     5 - Being “away on retreat” creates a atmosphere that is more conducive to teamwork, creative thinking,  and
          consensus building

The purpose of this form is to provide feedback to the Grundmeyer Leader Services team to plan your administrative retreat. Your feedback around participants, dates, location, agenda items budget, recreational activities and food will guide the plans for your retreat.  Based on your feedback, a draft of the full itinerary will be shared with you to further develop before plans are solidified.  You may also want to consider having the retreat with just your team or engaging with other schools. GLS consultants can facilitate the retreat onsite to ensure you and your team are truly able to reflect, rejuvenate and refocus!

If you have any questions about the retreat offering or completion of this form reach out to Dr. Trent Grundmeyer at (515) 205-9987 or tgrundmeyer@gmail.com.
