Three Year Strategic Plan
The United Way of DeKalb County Board of Directors and staff, in partnership with the Indiana Nonprofit Resource Network, embarked on a goal-based strategic planning process to develop a three-year strategic plan to foster stronger alignment, collaboration, and above all direction through 2020.
The planning process was divided into two phases. The process was handled by two separate, but related groups of Board members and staff. Phase I developed Strategic Issue Areas, Goals, Objectives, Barriers and Critical Success Factors. Phase II established Strategies and Tactics to support each objective.
In essence, the goals and heart of the work should be considered the driving document of the organization. However, as unforeseen changes and culture shifts in the organization and wider community, corrections and slight changes of direction may be made by the Board of Directors to maintain the integrity of the strategic plan and to ensure the goals and objectives are met.
Out of this planning process, as you may have noticed at the beginning of our newsletter, came a rejuvenated vision and mission.
United Way of DeKalb County's Vision is to enable people to work together creating a thriving and vibrant community for all.
United Way of DeKalb County's Mission is to fight for the health, education, and financial stability for every person in our community.
