Professional Online (Remote) Chamber Board Planning Facilitation
Pat’s effective and efficient online planning facilitation process inspires board engagement by:
- Presenting the “Best Boards in America” board development and orientation general session.
- Surveying board members for confidential input creating board ownership in the new plan.
- Working with the executive to compile board survey input to update the strategic plan.
- Collaborating with the executive to present the updated plan for ratification.
“In the age of Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet, I was apprehensive about how engaging our planning session would be and, even more concerned about the final product. The end result proved to be professional, efficient, and effective for my board and staff. Pat did a masterful job of working everyone through the process, and it had a hands-on feel from beginning to end.”

Why Pat?
Patrick McGaughey offers more than someone who can just facilitate a planning session, especially a Chamber of Commerce, an industry association or Non-Profit Organization planning session. In most cases, Pat is asked to be a Facili-Trainer making the planning retreat a learning event to help engage volunteers as well as facilitating the new plan.
Pat also utilizes his copyrighted Ex.L.A.R.G.E. Planning Analysis instead of the standard SWOT analysis. Where SWOT planning sessions end on ‘Threats,’ your planning session will end on Goals and the Execution of those goals.
