Strategic Planning: Raising The Stakes and Raising Your Results

If you care where you get to, but are looking for a better, proven way to clearly define it, along with the best way to go, join your fellow Affiliate Board and Staff members at this workshop. Through lively sharing of ideas and exercises using the tools and processes presented, you’ll learn to:

• Define success in terms specific to you and your Affiliate organization; 
• Develop an executable plan with specific, measurable long and short-term goals for desired results;
• Include appropriate target dates so you don’t have to “walk long enough;”
• Prevent lack of clarity in either content or format from dooming your plan and failing to achieve desired results in your desired time frame;
• Develop the tools and process to continuously track your progress; and
• Reap the benefits of much stronger teamwork and collaboration among Board and Staff that result from a well-designed and implemented planning process.
