The Strategic Planning Committee unveiled the 2009-2012 Strategic Plan during the Annual Meeting in Jasper in October 2008.
The Strategic Planning Committee was appointed by President Carol Feldman and consists of state and chapter leaders, assisted by consultant Ed Conroy. The committee has been meeting for the past year with the mission of developing a rejuvenated strategy and action plan that would drive membership growth, strengthen both local chapters and state-wide influence, and increase the Society’s ability to advocate for native plants and their habitats.
The long-range plan focuses on three key areas for innovation: 1) Advocacy; 2) Chapter level goals and objectives; and 3) State-level goals and objectives.
Some of the significant goals include adding a state-level VP of Advocacy with a mission of strengthening our state-wide advocacy; enhancing our scholarship and other educational programs; energizing our environmental liaison role with a stronger emphasis on developing partnerships with kinship organizations; and adding a Development Board and an Executive Director to help with fund-raising.
