I think ideally, we can narrow down the number of organizations to at least
our top 5-10 and then let Jen provide feedback on the reduced number of
organizations, which I believe will facilitate her providing feedback in a
short amount of time. I think this decision of what to do will be better
made once we see how the meeting at Gigi's goes today, since it depends on
if Sue and Lena were able to make good enough progress as well. I think if
we can move forward with our team's feedback today, we can use our scores
(between the 5 of us) to reduce the amount of orgs to 5-10 orgs and then
use Jen's scores to annex ours and further reduce the orgs to the top 3.
Again, I think it'll be better to decide on this at Gigi's when everyone is
at the table to provide input.

Agree, our timeline is pretty short!
Gigi's website says they have wireless -- I forgot to check when I was
there this morning ! 😂
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Sounds good! I realized after I sent last email that the FAC meeting is
next Tuesday so chances are she won't be able to look at it in detail.
BTW does GiGi's have wifi?
See you in the morning!

I can say both Jacoby and I should have our numbers in by tomorrow!
True, and even if not before the FAC meeting, maybe we can at least keep
Rev. Crow in the loop afterward.

Getting her feedback would be helpful. Is everyone besides Sue able to
have their numbers in the system by tomorrow's meeting?

Giving Recipient?*
Hi Lukas,
Thanks so much for inviting me into the process. I'd love to read
through the proposals, and hear how things are coming along - and
unfortunately there's no way I can weigh in by tomorrow. If there is any
leeway on this, I could read stuff next week and make notes to share. Also,
if you or anyone from the team wanted to have a short phone call sometime
this week, I'd be happy to weigh in that way. I'm excited to hear how the
process is working and who has applied.
In gratitude,

Hi Jen,
Hope this message finds you well! Let me start off by saying I know
this message has a very short requested turn-around time, given the size of
the request -- so if you aren't able to fit this in, no worries at all!
Now, the ask: Would you be interested in helping us decide what
organization will be the recipient of First Universalist's Holiday Giving
campaign this year?
We've been working with Justin for the past few months. Now that he is
on sabbatical, we thought it might be fair to see if another member of
church leadership would like to weigh in during his absence.
Our group has been moving at a pretty good pace, and we just finalized
our Pairwise (Head-To-Head) Comparison method last night.
*What would this require from you?: *
You can help us by filling out a Google Spreadsheet that rates all of
the organizations that responded on 7 categories.
You should have received a link to open the spreadsheet (HG Ranking)
just a bit ago. It's very important to open the spreadsheet using the
emailed link, since all the spreadsheet is locked down except for the parts
each person is able to edit.
When you open the spreadsheet, you can navigate to the "JenCrow" sheet
at the bottom. Here, you'll see all the organizations in column B, and all
of the categories we came up with to the right of that. (Screenshot below).

So, essentially what you'd do, is review each organization's
application (more on how to access those below) , and then rate how well
you think each organization would do at meeting that criteria. Our scale is
included in the sheet -- 5 being fantastic, and 1 being poor.
Then, the results dashboard displays a comprehensive view of everyone's
responses. Some categories are weighed more heavily than others. Note: Even
while just a few people have filled out their rating sheets, the
comprehensive dashboard will still display a number ... it will just be
lower than expected until everyone has filled their section out.
*How do I access the applications?:*
Two ways:
1. I sent you access to view all of the Holiday Giving campaign
proposals in a separate email, as well. The best way to view the
applications, I've found, is to click on "responses" and then click on
"individual," and you can flip through the applications one by one.
2. Additionally, I also have attached a Word Document containing
all of the information from the applications in one comprehensive
format. I
did this pretty quickly though, before going to the airport -- so it
requires a bit of inferring to know what information section goes where.
Again, I know this is a lot to ask, and if this is too much to do,
that's OK! I set the spreadsheet up so we can change the number of people
weighing in, and still get accurate results.
Any questions in the meantime, you're welcome to contact me by phone (952
240-0287 <(952)%20240-0287>) or email at Lukas.Udstuen@xxxxxxxxx.
Respectfully,
