In December 2006, the Board
of Directors and Executive Staff completed the organization’s Strategic
Plan Development Process. With the assistance of a
facilitator, the Board and Executive Staff created
a “map” for the Association to use over
the next 3 to 10 years to “guide” the organization’s
activities.
Altogether, the Board and Executive
staff spent approximately 30 hours, over a course of
eight meetings, developing a new Vision, Mission, and
set of Strategic Goals and Objectives for the organization.
In addition, the Executive staff created a list of
Action Steps that the Association will undertake in
the next three years to accomplish the Strategic Goals
and Objectives to achieve the Mission and further the
Vision of the Association.
The proposed Vision and Mission
will guide the Association’s
activities over the next 10 years (2017). Alternately,
the Strategic Goals and Objects have a shorter lifespan
of three years (2010) to allow the organization change
with the needs of the community.
