June 27, 2019 Staff Meeting

Post date: Aug  5, 2019 9:59:00 AM

• Welcome – why this meeting is important

  • Transparency

  • It’s part of our job to know what’s going on here

• Where we are now – budget review

  • We have been making decisions based on finances

  • Now we can shift to making decisions surrounding performance – how do we know we’re doing our jobs well?

  • CRI = Revenue – discounts and direct costs = CTO -allocated costs – operating income – depreciation + gross = net income

  • YTD:

Revenue 2019: up $174k in programs, up $57k in development, up $86k total

Expense: program costs down $123k, payroll down $118k

Overall: turned around $263k this year so far

• • The hook is that most of our program money for the year is already booked

• What we’re doing now

  • Evaluating what we actually do – review the big buckets

  • CRI depends on 9 programs:

    • Comp youth (-)

    • Let’s Row (-)

    • Adult (-)

    • Youth Rec (+)

    • Corp/Events (+)

    • Para (-)

    • IRL (-)

    • Stoller (-)

    • Military (-)

  • Solution: raise more money!

  • Looking at how we know we’re doing a good job

• Where we go from here

  • Care for our community 

    • Example: last summer was nuts! Much better this year because of four people (thank you Kane, Beatrice, Bode, Tristan!)

  • Never miss an opportunity to celebrate what we do

    • It helps us fundraise!

  • Re-organizing Let’s Row

    • Streamline middle school and Row Boston

    • We can do a better job recruiting kids and track them better if we are connected to them from middle school through high school

    • Measure our success better

    • Integrate this program as a meaningful group within CRI

• IRL class starting next week 

  • Six new fellows starting next week

  • Anyone who is around and available go to lunch at Charlie’s in Harvard Square – let’s integrate!

  • CRI coach talk on Thursday, July 18 at 5pm

• Auditing IRL classes (Patrick)

  • Any full time staff can come audit a class – just let Pat know and he’ll get you set up
