We have a new Strategic Plan – and we have our Board of Directors, employees, and community to thank for it.
Our Strategic Plan provides direction, priorities, and goals toward a sustainable and innovative future for our not-for-profit organization, so we can best meet the needs of people and families, our team, and our broader community. The plan also positions our organization to adapt with innovation to the Government of Ontario’s multi-year plan for Developmental Services reform, called Journey to Belonging: Choice and Inclusion.
Developing a Strategic Plan is a board-led process. Our board was supported by People Minded Business, a consultant with expertise in the Developmental Services sector and strategic plan development. To help inform the plan, People Minded Business consulted many people:
- 95 employees, people, and families participated in surveys
- 50 employees, people, families, and board members participated in focus groups
- 10 community partners participated in one-on-one interviews
Input also came from our Strategic Plan Advisory Team, an invited group of board members, people and families who access our services, and employees tasked with providing insight that might otherwise be missed.
I invite you to review our new 2024-2027 Strategic Plan, its strategic priorities, and their related goals, on our website.
In the plan, you will also find our new Vision, Purpose, Values, and Commitments statements:
Vision
Creating a Community of Belonging Together
Purpose
To promote and advance meaningful choice and real inclusion for people with developmental disabilities, so people, families, and our community can thrive.
As an important part of the Strategic Plan process, a review and revision of these statements ensures they continue to reflect our organization’s character and views, and to guide our actions.
On behalf of our team at Community Living Huntsville, I am excited to work now and in the years ahead on realizing our new Strategic Plan – and creating a community of belonging together.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Willett
Executive Director
Community Living Huntsville
