lifecycle review presentation by Deepak Kamlani, Global Inventures CEO<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>Deepak strongly
recommends that we evolve the foundation’s business model such that we
can obtain at least $1,000,000 as a recurring annual revenue stream.
Otherwise, he believes we will have insufficient resources to conduct many
activities that we would ideally want to pursue. A discussion ensued
about how to introduce additional membership tiers at different price points,
and how to provide significant value to members at all membership levels.
Having a $1,000,000 budget is practically needed to be able to have a
significant enough range of offerings to provide differentiated value to
members at different levels. Deepak’s experience is that board size
should be capped at 15. He understands the huge value we’re
currently deriving from volunteer work by board members and others, but also
cautioned us that relying heavily on volunteers to produce the
organization’s results is not a sustainable strategy.<o:p></o:p></p>
