Overview of Strategic Planning Process
Here is an outline of the process by which the national organization and the National Action Board will devise a Strategic Plan that will serve as a roadmap for the completion of short-term and long-term goals consistent with the mission and vision for the national organization.
Goals and Tasks of the Strategic Planning Process
The Strategic Planning process will do the following:
- Re-examine the current mission statement of the national organization and determining whether meets the needs and accurately describes the organization.
- Developing a vision statement for the national organization.
- Conduct proper environmental analysis (such as SWOT) to accurately know what resources are needed and are already available to implement any plans, as well as what strengths we can build upon or weaknesses need to be overcome to implement the plan.
- Name goals that need to be accomplished to reach our vision and better meet our mission statement, as well as other defined improvements for the organization as defined by members and the Taskforce report.
- Define actions to be taken and expected outcomes of these goals.
- Develop a 3 year plan and action plan with identified benchmarks and timeline for action.
- Evaluate progress of the national organization and its leadership in meeting its goals.
Creation of the Plan
The Strategic Plan will be created at the National Action Board retreat that will take place at the National 4-H Center in Chevy Chase, MD this summer. The initial plan will be developed by members of the National Action Board and other necessary partners. The plan will be reviewed by the Strategic Planning Committee (defined in more detail later in the report) over a one month period. At that time, the committee will be asked to conduct surveys and coordinate feedback of any and all interested Collegiate 4-H members throughout the country.
At the end of this one month period, members of the committee will present to NAB their suggestions and concerns, and a summary of the suggestions and concerns of the membership, over the initial plan in the form of a report. NAB will respond to the report and release a final plan to the Collegiate 4-H community within one month.
The plan will be adopted by the National Action Board as the official strategic plan for the organization for the next three years.
