Briefing  
2. Discuss Strategic Plan Year 1 Goals  
 Michelle Mac Lennan reviewed Year 1 items of the Strategic Plan for each area: 
Leadership in the Arts, Community Impact, and Expanded Facilities.  
 Year 1 items will be presented at the May CCF Board Meeting. 
 
3. Discuss FY24 Annual Retreat/Training Opportunity 
 Two possible opportunities for the Annual Board Retreat/Meeting: 
o Welcome back last year’s board retreat facilitator, Abby Wilkymacky, to 
continue working on/implementing the Strategic Plan.  
o Hire Teniqua Broughton, Founder and CEO, of Verve Simone Consulting for 
Equity Readiness Learning Workshop. 
o The City of Chandler is working to get Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) 
Training for all boards and commissions.  This proposal would be a potential 
pilot for other boards and commissions in the City.  Funding is proposed 
from the City budget.  
o After reviewing both options, the Executive Subcommittee chose to bring 
forth to the full board the VerveSimone Consulting proposal.  
o City staff will send out a poll to board members with date options to hold the 
training after this has been presented at the Chandler Cultural Foundation 
(CCF) Board Meeting on April 27, 2023.  
o This training will take the place of the Annual Board Retreat.   
o A future Strategic Plan special meeting may be planned in lieu of a springtime 
board meeting.  
 
4. Discuss FY24 Expanded Facilities Needs Assessment 
 Look at activating a Long-Range Planning Subcommittee or Workgroup. 
 Membership will include high level representation from the Chandler Unified School 
District, the City of Chandler, and the Chandler Cultural Foundation.  
 
5. Discuss FY24 Chandler Cultural Foundation (CCF) Budget  
 Michelle Mac Lennan discussed the FY24 CCF Budget.  
 As Year 1 of the Strategic Plan gets underway, identifying what funding may be 
needed in the future, especially when it involves staffing, will be included.   
 This will be important in Year 2 and 3 of the Strategic Plan.  
 Placeholders for funding Strategic plan initiatives will be built into the CCF FY24 
Budget.
