At what point in the strategic planning process should you hold a retreat for your staff and board members? Group of answer choices Retreats should be held after you've brought together a committee to assess the situation and collect empirical data. A retreat is the first thing that should be done because they are centralized on mission/vision and data can be analyzed later. Retreats are not beneficial to strategic planning processes and do not need to be held. Retreats are like trainings and should be held towards the end of the process after most decisions have been made
