Sample Executive Retreat Itinerary Agenda Format
[An executive retreat itinerary agenda is written to announce the purpose and the date of the retreat to the employees who will be participating in the meeting. An executive retreat itinerary agenda will change according to the organization or the group planning the meeting and can even extend up to 4 to 5 days.]
Tips for drafting Executive Retreat Itinerary Agenda:
- Understand the purpose of the retreat.
- Determine the goals in mind for the retreat.
- Provide information about the location of the retreat.
- Prepare a schedule for the retreat according to the number of days planned.
- The date of departure from the retreat is also a requirement which needs a mention.
