Depends on who ends up on the board. Probably online. Once in a while, a face to face meeting would be advisable. I think travel costs for an annual meeting could be provided.

The current FFS board so far hasn’t dealt with anything. They’ve been placeholders who give advice.

The board will help develop the organization, give it a higher profile, help with fundraising, enable it to become a serious contender in the realm of fusions policy. It will help prioritize, and help ensure that we have the resources to carry out programs. As it is, we’re a loose membership organization that has cool conversations on a website and documents LPP as they conduct experiments. A lot of the things we’ve talked about can be turned into actionable projects, but we need a stronger organization and resources to push that through.

Foundations don’t give money to organizations without a strong board.
