Annual retreat fuels new thinking and ideas

IAN's annual retreat is held in the spring of each year and we invite not only the smaller, core group of IAN staff, but the larger UMCES staff that sit at our partners' offices (U.S. EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program and Maryland Departments of Natural Resources and the Environment). This provides a cross-pollination of ideas and broader thinking to help IAN be even more successful in the future. This year's retreat consisted of several key activities that will help IAN become a better organization - the ABT phrase exercise, the Snap exercise, and the IAN Report Card project. Check out our blog to see the outcomes and outputs from the retreat.
