This session will be a facilitated discussion about different models regional burns use to define the powers and responsibilities of the board, event organizers, and departments. The goal is an open discussion about the challenges you face in these relationships, how those challenges were addressed, and how that went well, or did not. Additional areas of focus will include resolution of inter-departmental and inter-lead conflict, delegation of responsibility, maintaining continuity of leadership, and “Should this management proccess be a ThunderDome fight?”.
