Strategic
Planning
Message from Anna Madison
Re:
Schedule
Thanks for a very good strategic planning retreat turnout. Over
the two-day period we accomplished a great deal. The energy and
positive “can do” spirit was overwhelming. The retreat
was a very big first step for the College. Some of the initiatives
generated at the
retreat can be implemented early during the spring semester. Others
will require more time to develop.
Now, the next steps to make our vision for the future a reality.
The tentative schedule:
Step 1 – The strategic planning committee
leaders will prepare and submit the reports from the retreat
small groups to the strategic
planning committee chair. Report Due
Date: January 6, 2006
Step 2 – The strategic planning committee
will submit the combined report to the CPCS faculty and staff with
a ranking of priorities for
review. This report should include the strategic issues statement
including the goals to address the issues, initiatives, and action
steps.

to the strategic planning committee. Working group assignments will
