We usually rent a hotel conference room somwhere close. The officers and usually at least one alum (to moderate) sit down and write out all the goals for the upcoming year. All dates are finalized on the master calendar and an outline of all activities for the coming year is written.

The goal is to ensure that all officers are on the same page and working towards a common goal. It's also important that everyone knows what their individual role is in the success of the chapter.
