Form a small working committee of capable peers to do the initial work, including parents and highly regarded stakeholders with financial, legal, leadership, real estate, accounting, and building experience. It’s critical to ensure that each member is on the same page in reference to the vision, publicly and privately. Eventually these same members may become your board, so follow effective board governance process. Utilize the strategic plan you’ll develop later to set up supporting committees.
