At times, a year of the VP Education role can move by slowly. But, ~24 meetings can pass by quickly if not prepared in advance. The block plan forecasts each meeting strategically for at least the current year.

• The dates for all meetings is forecast for the year, including any dates that will be skipped (ie. Christmas)

• High-level meeting themes are assigned, such as contests, changeover, showcase, elections, anniversaries, end-of-year etc.
