Later this week, the Board of Visitors will convene for its annual planning retreat in Williamsburg. The retreat will open with an orientation session for new Board members. This will be followed by a joint meeting with the UMW Foundation Board, which will be holding its annual retreat at the same location. The remainder of the agenda will include sessions on strategic vision, academics, marketing efforts, finance, and fund raising. The retreat will conclude with closed sessions for presidential goal-setting and annual appraisal, followed by the election of Board officers.
