Agenda

 * Purpose: Check in with WMUS-NYC / WMF / Grants committees


 * 1) Metrics and Reporting Position: Update on the hiring process.
 * 2) Discussion of organizational priorities. This is a process we go through with all grantees. While the application process may focus on your programs, regular check ins are a time to also focus on how your organization is working. We can jointly define some organizational priorities and check in on progress in these areas periodically. Most organization define 2-4 priorities for the year.
 * 3) Update on program work since the start of the grant. Since it will be a little while before a report is due, now will be a good time to give WMF a picture of what you have achieved so far this year in your programs.
 * 4) Financial update. Is spending on track? Is cash flow OK? Are any changes to line items in the budget needed at this time?
 * 5) Key action items TBD, on the call
