F3 Waxhaw Board Meeting – Recap

F3 Waxhaw Board Meeting – Recap

8 men gathered at Cuthbertson after our workouts to welcome our 2 newest Board members and discuss removing the Bot from the Playhouse how we are accelerating in all 3 Fs.  This backblast is an attempt to share with the PAX what the Board discussed and the actions/takeaways from the meeting.

• WHO:
  • 1st F Qs (Fitness):  Dasher and CARB LOAD 
  • 2nd F Qs (Fellowship):  Gerber and CHICKEN LITTLE 
  • 3rd F Qs (Faith):  Shop Dawg and Centerfold
  • COMZ Q:  ZINFANDEL (New Board role; Zin had been pulling double duty with 2nd F)
  • Q of Expansion:  POSSE (New role with focus to help plant workouts outside of our Region; neighboring towns as well as supporting PAX who have moved away)
  • Weasel Shaker:  CHASTAIN (Replacing Mad Dog)
  • Nant’an:  Bottlecap
• TOPICS:
  • Welcome to the new Board Members
    • Carb Load:  Jim has been instrumental in a number of 1st F events; his passion and personal effort in 1st F made him an easy choice to keep challenging the F3 Waxhaw PAX physically
    • Chicken Little:  After his Myrtle Beach curb issues, the Board was hesitant excited to get Don’s energy and contagious attitude on 2nd F; his selfless ways will no doubt help F3 Waxhaw grow closer to each other through fun events for the PAX and our families
    • Mad Dog:  He has rolled off the Board.  A BIG THANKS for his service.  His wisdom and ability to shake weasels has been invaluable to getting our Region and processes well established and quickly.  Personally, I appreciate his friendship and ability to offer common sense solutions.
  • 1st F UPDATE:
    • Great work completing the April 1 Q challenge
      • 96 different PAX Q’d a workout in those 30 days . . . Incredible
