After-Action Report on Day Geetha congratulated the group and reminded everyone how much had been accomplished in a short time. Doug Lucente offered his comments: he felt this was one of the best parades we ever had. Everyone was so happy; the Town was buzzing with excitement. Everyone he spoke with talked about the event in superlative terms. There may have been some small flaws (for example, the microphone setup at the morning ceremony needs fixing), but what showed to the outside world came across beautifully. Geetha asked Doug about attendance. What were his impressions? Doug felt this parade was the biggest in the last five years: ot shoulder to shoulder but plenty of them. All agreed that a follow-up meeting with key stakeholders should be held soon to capture feedback while it is still fresh in minds. Geetha will work with Kathy Severance to schedule a meeting. Geetha then shared a PowerPoint presentation she had compiled from all the feedback sent in by members. Feedback comments from the parade included: Less frequent meetings, early golf cart driving instruction, need for earlier street closings, security risk of vehicles entering parade, missing VIP bus, missing banner truck, and need for thorough review of parade application to simplify future follow up. Feedback on the Ceremony included the unreliable PA system, insecure podium, absence of folding chairs, and misunderstanding re Minute Men awards. Comments on the Registration process included lack of a waste container, need to start 1/2 hour early, need for police presence, and locating units that never checked in.
