  1. This reads well. I appreciate the thought you all put into this and I hope it has benefited you in terms of helping you find a path to follow and stay on.
    NEXT: come up with deadlines and who is responsible for eachr these.
    First, however, create an overall chart, maybe in Excel, that lists these same elements in the order in which they need to happen. Leave each element in its type color so it will be clear when looking at the list which "corner" the element speaks to. For example the list may start with an item from Policies & Procedures to be followed by an item from Website which is followed by an item from Advertising, followed by another Advertising item, then a recruitment item. After making the list in that way, then assign deadlines and who will be responsible for seeing to it that the work is done (which does not mean that person has to do the work but is responsible for completion)
