11 Media Arts Coalition - USA A staff and board retreat for a media arts coalition in Phoenix, USA Back in November, I had a great experience working with a media arts coalition where I had previously done several planning retreats. There had been a change in the board and the previous managing director had moved to be executive director of one of the member organizations. The new managing director, had just come on. At the end of the retreat, she was cleaning up and I was pulling down flip charts and I asked her if she had a good time. She paused and gave a short answer, like yes, or something . . . In the morning I got an email in which she said, I was confused about how to do this job, but after the retreat, I am clear. Jim Wiegel, USA, 2008 USA
