Just want to send a quick note of thanks to Pete and his team.  That was great retreat and thank you for pushing us to understand the reality of our system’s future and for generating ideas.

I’m just sitting in our parking lot in the new chair, contemplating life and trying to grow hair.

See you all next time!

Jamie

Good Morning OPRA Board Members,

I hope this message finds you well!

We’re looking forward to seeing all of you next week in Cincinnati for the OPRA Annual Board Retreat. It will be great to spend some time together in person, and we have a meaningful and engaging few days planned.
Here are a few important details about the retreat:

  *   5:00 – 6:00 PM – Welcome Reception
  *   6:30 PM – Dinner on Your Own

Tuesday, August 12
The focus of Tuesday is board member networking.
Come ready with your creative thinking and be prepared to enjoy a unique Cincinnati Reds experience!

Wednesday, August 13
We’ll hold our regular board meeting on Wednesday, with a full agenda including:

This discussion will be critical as we continue to position OPRA and our members for impact and sustainability.

Dress Code
We want this to be a relaxed and casual event. No formal dress code — just come comfortable and ready to engage.

On behalf of the entire OPRA team, thank you for carving out this time in your schedule to connect with one another and help lead the organization forward. Your commitment to OPRA is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or Melissa.

We’ll see you in Cincinnati!

Have a great day!
Pete
