Board members.

for those who are skeptical.
3. Discuss the first four (4) highlevel
activities that would be necessary in starting this initiative in the right direction and
describe the potential pitfalls of each.
4. Speculate on the most comprehensive and / or critical challenge(s) in the infancy of this initiative and explain how to
overcome that challenge(s).
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality
