Chairman Raja Letter Regarding Future Initiatives
|
|
|
Dear Committee Members,
As the Chair/Vice-Chair meeting held last week at iHeart Radio Studios, we reviewed your survey feedback and identified the top initiatives for RCAC to focus on based upon your feedback. The initiatives and leads for each initiative are included below:
Our approach is to have the lead(s) create teams to determine the strategy, plan and best practices that can be used by all RCAC committees for each initiative. The lead(s) shall have the option to create best practices over a 2 month period using a standard SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis and then overlaying this with the current trends and approaches already available from organizations such as Americans for Prosperity etc. The lead(s) are scheduled to present the strategy, plan and best practice(s) at the next Chair / Vice-Chair meeting and then be available to roll the same out across the RCAC committees over the next two months. The lead(s) will then present the results of the roll out across the RCAC committee at the Chair / Vice-Chair meeting following the 2 month rollout duration. We will then look for new leads to embark on the next set of initiatives over the next 4 month duration.
If you are interested in joining any of the above teams to create the strategy, plan and best practices for any of the initiatives, please directly contact the lead(s) listed above. On behalf of RCAC, I encourage each of you to join a team that interests you and thank you in advance for your participation.
If you have any questions on the above, please do not hesitate to contact me at 412-600-8078 or
[email protected].
Thanking you,
D. Raja
RCAC Chair
