Board Meeting Bingo

This game was inspired by my wonderful friend, David. It's called "Board Meeting Bingo" and it offers a way to re-invigorate desultory board meetings in non-profit theatres.

You can re-order the items in each column (except the center square - which is the "free" square) to create 504 unique bingo cards. Feel free to create new terms to replace the ones in the sample card below. You can play the same cards across multiple meetings as long as someone remembers to bring the cards back each time. Prizes are encouraged: some ideas might be a massage or a free car wash by fellow board members.

When an item is in quotes, the person in that role actually has to say the word. Any un-quoted text in a square is a description of an action or idea undertaken or expressed by the person in the role.

Here are the roles:
AD = Artistic Director
MD = Managing Director
BP = Board President
CC = Committee Chair
BM = Board Member
