The agenda provided for the White River School District's Board of Directors meeting does not detail any specific team-building exercises used during the meeting. However, I can recommend two team-building exercises that could foster cohesion among board members and staff at such meetings.

Round-Robin Brainstorming:

• Description: This exercise encourages each member of the board to contribute their ideas or feedback on a particular issue or agenda item. The meeting leader prompts each person in turn, ensuring that everyone has a chance to speak, and encourages creativity and out-of-the-box thinking.
• Benefits: It helps to draw out quieter members who may have valuable insights and ensures all voices are heard, promoting inclusivity and collaborative problem-solving.

SWOT Analysis Workshop:

• Description: Divide the group into smaller teams and assign them to conduct a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis on a relevant topic, such as a policy proposal or upcoming initiative. Afterward, each team presents their results, and the board discusses how to leverage strengths and opportunities while addressing weaknesses and threats.
• Benefits: This structured analysis encourages strategic thinking and different perspective-sharing which can be essential for effective decision-making and policy development.
