Strategic Planning Retreat on May 12th

The Board of Directors completed the development of a proposed Strategic Plan for the future of our club. The initiative was recommended by the Membership Committee, accepted and promoted by President Bob and developed by the Board via several planning retreats. The membership was involved in the development of a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis of the club via a questionnaire completed at a Club Assembly. This SWOT analysis was then utilized by the Board to develop a Strategic Plan that addressed a Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives and a strategy to achieve them. The process included the development of a proposed bylaws update. The Strategic Plan and Bylaws will be presented to the membership for review and ratification at a club assembly on May 30th. Philippe Bellande, whose occupation includes an expertise in Strategic Planning, played an integral part in leading us thru this process.

This process helped the Board develop an understanding of where we are and where we need to go in order to continue to be the Service Club of Choice in our community. We have been an integral force in the community and will continue to be so in the future.
