8. Board Package & Connections The Senior Management Team holds their Organizational Meetings every month 1 week prior to the Board of Directors Meetings The results of these Dialogs is used as the primary piece for each month’s Board Package

9. Board Package The key parts of the Dialog contained in the Board Package are 1)Organization Summary with recap of Organizational Dialog Meeting 2)Strategic Discussions 3)Corporate Culture and Core Value 4)Balanced Score Card goals & metrics 5)Strategic Initiatives / 7 new Projects

10. Organizational Dialog to Individual- Three Step Plan 1) The Senior Management Team chose to transition to individual dialogs first so they could learn and experience it for themselves 2) The 2 nd phase will be to introduce individual dialogs to their direct reports ( middle management. 3) The third step will be for the Department Managers to implement it with their staff

11. BRANCH DIALOGS One of our biggest successes with Dialogs has been with our Branches We have their total buy-in and excitement Branch Dialogs have provided a venue for our frontline staff to share their successes & core value stories that come from their direct contact with our members and Participate in Celebrations & recognitions

12. RECOGNIZE & CELEBRATE!! One of the ways Connections has helped us recognize, celebrate our employees successes is with: PINS!!!! Star of the Month Pin Making a Difference Pin Project Completion Pin Core Conversion Pin Shadow Box Our Marketing Department designed a special Shadow Box for every employee to display his/her pins.

13. CONNECTIONS ONLINE Our implementation of Connections Dialogs has helped us achieve all these successes this year by: Improving communication among employees Enhancing our ability to assign, track & manage key initiatives & projects ( 100 th year Anniversary celebration, the Give Back Program & the Conversion)!
