A VOSA STRATEGIC PLAN? HAVE YOUR SAY....


A strategic plan for VOSA is a framework for decisions and forward movement toward improvement of the association. It directs the work of both the association and executive as yearly goals are formed for their work, budgets  designed to support the plan, and benchmarks set to provide the ability to monitor progress and assess accountability of those mandated with implementation.

A few key components to be explored are:

1. What is the mission: A good strategic plan is driven by the purpose the assoication serves as reflected in its mission statement. The statement should be succinct and clear and a continuos point of reference in the development of the plan.

2. What is VOSA's vision for the future: An inspired statement about the primary focuses for VOSA as its designs specific implementation of the plan.

3. Objectives with defined goals: who is responsible, start date, mid point review and completion date. Once objectives are set, the program will be developed taking into consideration management/adminstration, finance and accountability.

The question therefore is - does VOSA need a strategic plan for the next 3-5 years? If so, have your say and put forth some ideas.
