Your Board of Trustees recently looked at the strategic plan of the Section which has been in place since 2012.  Designed to provide direction for the Section for a 3-5 year time period the current plan needed some adjustments to meet the needs of an ever changing membership and Section.  Ideally strategic plans should provide guidance to the Board, Section Committees and Subsections as they prepare their self-appraisals, action plans, and budgets for the coming years.

Recently shared with committee officers at the Fall Committee Officer Training this new guiding document which includes a new Vision and Mission statement for the Section is scheduled for Board approval at the May Trustee Meeting in Tacoma prior to the Section Conference. It can be found on our website on our Governing Documents page as well as below.  Between now and then, members are encouraged to share feedback with the Board of Trustees and any recommended changes or additions.
