The list of decisions to be escalated is presented first to ensure visibility; it does not need to be completed first. Each director also has a table to fill out describing critical activities and resources.

Decisions That the Executive Director Needs to Make (Short-term Recovery)

As a group, propose some decisions that the executive director needs to make (decisions that are above your pay grade or to resolve conflicting ideas). List major, executive-level decisions only and prioritize them. Briefly explain the basis or rationale for the decision you seek and the objectives or, if it is denied, the consequences.
