SayPro Retreat Planning and Coordination: Coordinate the planning of the retreats, including selecting locations, booking accommodations, arranging facilitators, and organizing the agenda.

. Selecting Locations:

• What are the key considerations for location selection? Think about factors like:
  • Purpose of the retreat: Is it for strategic planning, team building, training, or a combination? This will influence the type of environment needed.
  • Budget: What is the allocated budget for the venue and associated costs?
  • Accessibility: How easy is it for participants to travel to the location (considering transportation options and potential travel time)?
  • Facilities: What facilities are essential (meeting rooms, accommodation, dining, recreational areas, Wi-Fi)?
  • Atmosphere: What kind of ambiance are you aiming for (e.g., quiet and focused, inspiring and creative, relaxing and rejuvenating)?
  • Safety and security: Are there any safety concerns to consider for the location?
• How will potential locations be identified and evaluated? Will you use online research, site visits, or recommendations?

2. Booking Accommodations:

• What type of accommodation is required? (e.g., hotel rooms, shared cabins, on-site lodging)
• What are the dates and duration of the retreats? This is crucial for checking availability.
• What are the participant numbers? This will determine the number of rooms/beds needed.
• What are the budget constraints for accommodation?
• What are the booking procedures and cancellation policies?

3. Arranging Facilitators:

• What type of facilitation is needed for each retreat? (e.g., strategic planning, team-building workshops, specific training sessions)
• Are there internal facilitators within SayPro, or will external facilitators be required?
• What are the qualifications, experience, and expertise needed for the facilitators?
• What are the facilitator fees and logistical requirements? (e.g., travel, accommodation, equipment)
• How will facilitators be identified, vetted, and contracted?

4. Organizing the Agenda:

• What are the objectives and desired outcomes of each retreat?
• What key topics or activities need to be included?
• How much time should be allocated to each session?
• Will there be breaks, meals, and social activities included in the agenda?
• Who will be responsible for developing the detailed agenda?
• How will the agenda be communicated to participants and facilitators?
