CES Strategic Planning charge and timeline:
Established by CEAC Workgroup Members: Dan Wilson, John
Preissing, Donna Doll-Yogerst, Laurie Boyce, Larry Jones
A successful strategic plan will build on our focus on the following
three foundational initiatives:
- Broadening local partnerships that support and enhance
transformational education. To date, we have
established 20 Community Partner Advisory Groups across the
state. More than 20 additional counties are initiating
CPAGs over the next few months. Having a healthy CPAG
is central to the success of any local planning process.
- Building relationships with community members who have
not had access to our organization and its educational resources. Over
80 of your colleagues have participated in the multi-cultural
awareness training. As more participate, we will gain
a better understanding of how we can engage those who have
traditionally been excluded from past planning processes.
- Creating a culture where individuals and teams throughout
the organization, share leadership, responsibility, and accountability
for their work. This fall and early winter, you
and your colleagues will create a team mission statement and
operating principles. Having this "end in mind" will
bring a common focus to your planning process.
Ways in which Cooperative Extension will be different as a result
of the planning process:
- Institution-wide priority initiatives in support of transformational
education.
- Citizenry input from a wide variety of perspectives through such
mechanisms as the community partner advisory groups.
- Focused strategies, partnerships, goals, monitoring and communication
of progress in addressing initiatives.
- Additional funding resources and the re-allocation of resources
based on strategic priorities, rather than historical proportions
or percentages.
- Alignment, creation, elimination of internal systems, structures
and processes in a manner consistent with a responsibility-based
culture.
Guiding Principles:
- Broad-based and inclusive participation
- Do not set limits on our thinking
- Clear agreement on what’s possible
- Responsive, relevant programs for the state…grounded in
the grassroots
