Managing the site and facilities for an outdoor property takes money. Okay, lots of money. Here are some questions you might ask yourself, or discuss with your team:

• Why is it important to share or not share? What are the upsides? Downsides?
• What aspects are shared? Not shared? Who decides?
• Who currently knows the actual costs? Is it only the board, owners, and administration? How about other staff? Guest and participants?
• How do you present the costs in context? In alignment with values and the importance of a quality “place” in alignment with your mission?
• Can the costs be presented succinctly using graphics?
• Who is the key person to answer any questions accurately?

About the series. Each month, a site and facilities question will be posed that you can discuss with your staff.
