What's on this agenda

Despite the meeting-type label, this is the Wake Forest Board of Commissioners' annual retreat, held January 16, 2026 and not broadcast live. The day includes a Clifton Strengths team-building session (partly closed to discuss individual employee traits), a public power overview from ElectriCities, and a session on Wake Forest Power's own operations, budget, and ten-year plan.

Other retreat topics include a special events/strategic plan update, a look at town demographics and trends, and a discussion of how to fill a vacant Board seat. No formal votes or public hearings are expected; this is a discussion and planning day for the Board.
