Strategy workshop

There doesn't seem to be a start date on this list. So why no mention of the June 2011 strategy workshop? I think it counts as training in addition to a facilitated meeting, as we hired a consultant to explore strategy and productive working issues with us in a workshop format. The daytime part of the event certainly felt like a training workshop. MartinPoulter (talk) 17:02, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

It was arbitrary, based on when I set it up. I suggest that the list is more important from the date when the chapter became a charity, and having trained trustees (as opposed to directors) was a specific need. So anything before October 2011 would be icing on the cake; I'm not against it if someone wants to fill it in. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 17:29, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Martin; I've added the 11 June 2011 event accordingly. I think that what matters here is what training each individual current trustee has undertaken via WMUK, so the start date of this list depends on each trustee. It would be great if we can fill in the full history of the training for every current and past trustee, but as this list is assembled and maintained on a best-efforts basis that shouldn't be viewed as a formal requirement. Given that we've been operating as a charitable organisation since the day we incorporated, I don't think we should treat October/November 2011 as a borderline here. Thanks.

Can't fault the logic. Out of interest, why am I last in the list of trustees? ;-) --Fæ (talk) 22:36, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
