2023 – 2027 Strategic Plan
Creating the Current Plan
For the first time, our strategic plan was created 100% virtually. This meant the team couldn’t work in a conference room in small table discussions with flip charts and post-it notes. The team explored new ways to engage participants using Zoom® breakout rooms, Google® Docs, Padlet®, and Piccles®. These tools helped facilitate group participation.
