Strategic Plan

Strategic Plan

Thanks to the hard work of the Foundation’s board during the challenging summer of 2020, a new outline of some of what we hope to achieve in the next five years came into being. Then, in 2021, a group of board members, chapter leaders, and other supporters came together with a consultant to look at the plan through a DEIJ lens. You can read the entire strategic plan or just review these highlights.

Along with our Mission and Vision, our Values, Principles, and Goals will inform our work and our intentions.
