Strategic Plan / Goals
By Feb 14:
- 60 1:1s
-
-
- By the end of my 8th week now and I’ve done 20. I can up that rate.
- These 1:1s are with church pastors, synagogue directors, community organizers, potential providers, civic leaders, people I hope will help champion the work, etc
- I find the in-person meetings take about 1.5 hours, and I much prefer in person to phone. Setting the meeting up, preparing, then follow-up takes another couple hours each
-
- Gathered 40 electric bills
-
-
- From the 20 meetings I’ve had so far, 8 of them have resulted in sharing electric bills. The other meetings weren’t directly applicable to electric bill gathering. I have an 100% success rate of asking for bills in person and receiving them later (aka nobody says no), although it often takes follow-up.
- I hope to get more bills both from more focus on relevant in-person meetings, and also by connecting with larger networks of institutions that can make the ask for me:
- GBIO? – I plan to follow up with everyone on the first two calls and see who I’m still missing bills from. Maybe a list email here to see if that gets traction
- MATSA – Massachusetts Association of Temples and Synagogue Administrators – meeting with them next week
- Episcopal Archdiocese – cold lead from someone I hope to find direct contact with
- Roslindale Leaders meeting – going tomorrow
- ??
-
- Set date for a group Zoom meeting of all who have submitted electric bills
- Facilitated group Zoom meeting of 6-10 institutions interested in a trash hauling RFP
-
- I’ve discovered that this is a major issue for several institutions. CPA’s success with this in other regions makes it a good next step
- Involves finding a lawyer to help with breaking contracts and establishing relationships with new trash hauling providers
- Group in-person meeting of those who could be a “steering committee” for CPA Boston. Also a way to engage new people. Already met with several people who I could see being champions in this
CPA Incubator 
Like. A. Boss! And all of this done by the US national holiday of commerce otherwise known as Valentine’s Day. I love how action-oriented you are and how quickly you iterate/adapt to get stuff done. I also admire the thoughtfulness and close examination you brought to all parts of the incubator that I had the privilege of witnessing. Thank you!
