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.

Significant Issues

In January 2008, the Strategic Planning Implementation Team recommended a proposal process through which significant resources would be dedicated to a small number of high priority issues. The team sought fresh, high quality, outcome-driven proposals that address complex and significant issues for the people of New Hampshire. In April 2008, three proposals were selected for the initial round of funding.
