Strategic Plan Implementation
Introduction
In March 2007, John Pike, Dean & Director, named to the Strategic Plan Implementation Team the following individuals: Charlene Baxter, Darrel Covell, David Foote, Charlie French, Jim Grady (chair), Mike Koski, Amy Ouellette, Julia Peterson and Lisa Townson.
The charge to the implementation team is to take the next step of actualizing the strategic plan with assignment of responsibilities, resources, time frames for each action, and tracking/reporting of the plan's progress. Building on our past efforts, the implementation of our five year strategic plan describing the organization we intend to become is a formidable charge.
Special thanks goes to Val Long for her superb facilitation of the strategic planning process and to each of the committee members - Juli Brussell, Amy Ouellette, Matt Tarr, Thom Linehan, Julia Peterson, Nancy Evans, Charlie French and Lisa Townson - for their commitment and effort in working with staff and stakeholders to create the excellent plan that will direct our organization in the coming years.
UNH Cooperative Extension Strategic Plan 2007 - 2012
Current Progress - Updates on progress toward reaching the goals and strategic actions set by the 2007 Strategic Plan
One of the most important strategic goals of our current plan is to identify, prioritize and respond to the most significant issues facing youth, families and communities in the state and region. UNH Cooperative Extension staff, stakeholders, and many others, began a process to identify and prioritize key issues affecting the state of New Hampshire that Extension might address through educational programs. Our goal is to remain a vital resource to New Hampshire by using our expertise (and that of UNH) to address the most pressing issues facing people who live and work here.
These key issues will become the basis for re-framing existing programs (including the expansion of some), strategically seeking external funding resources to fund these key initiatives and for developing new programs in 2010 and beyond.
