This past weekend, the 12th National Council got together for our first face-to-face meeting since Convention 2009. We had a very busy weekend together - since we're spread out so far across the country we needed to take advantage of this time we had together!
One of the key focuses of the weekend has been our strategic plan for the next 5 years. While we have some work to do on finalizing our plan and actions, we are all confidant that we have a great plan that will address some of the current concerns and focus areas that are important to actives and alumnae. Look for more information in the near future - but if you want the full brief of the final plan, make sure to meet us at National Leadership Conference 2010!
The other focus areas of this weekend included:
-The National Awareness Campaign
-Planning for National Leadership Conference 2010
-Budget and the 2010 grant request we will soon make to the Foundation
-Some current standards areas of concern coming from the Actives
-Continuing to streamline and improve efficiency of National Council operations and organization
-And a million other great ideas that we have been talking about!
As always, I enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with my sisters - you ladies are an inspiration and great motivation to me!

Our strategic plan
All chapters should have a strategic or 5-year plan in place that is reviewed periodically. This is a document that includes short- and long-term goals and an action plan of how they will be accomplished.
Our national organization also has a strategic plan, and it is reviewed every 5 years. We analyze our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT analysis) and build goals from the results of that analysis. We then review our strategic plan at least annually when we meet face to face, and occasionally over e-mail.
Our last strategic plan was created in 2005, and we will start thinking about our next strategic plan in 2009.
We create goals in areas like expansion, alumnae involvement, using our internal resources, strengthening chapters, LEAP, national meetings, and hiring employees. We have seen a very large percentage of our strategic goals accomplished since 2005, which we are very proud of.
We just wanted to let you know that we do have a strategic vision about how we are going to serve our members and that we review that plan frequently. We are also here to help if your chapter has questions about its strategic plan and vision!
