Seeds of Strength 3-Year Strategic Plan of Action (2023 - 2026)
Goals
Develop and implement an electronic records system for the Board of Directors and all committees to use to organize their documents.
Develop and implement a plan for securing funding sources in addition to membership contributions.
Determine the feasibility of restructuring the grant program.
2023-2024 (Year 1)
Board and Committee Chair Council store their meeting documents in a shared folder. The Communication Technology Committee recommends a platform for the Board and all committees to begin using in July 2024.
The Advisory Council develops a list of suggestions for the most effective ways to solicit donations and/or sponsorships from businesses. Using their list and other ideas from members, the Board of Directors decide which ones will be most appropriate for Seeds of Strength to pursue and the most appropriate way(s) to request them.
The Board of Directors authorizes an ad hoc committee to gather information about alternatives to our current grant program and list the ramifications of each to our members, committees, bylaws, and policies and procedures. Their information will be presented to the Board, which will determine how to proceed.
2024-2025 (Year 2)
The Communication Technology Committee assists board members and committee chairs in learning how to create files to store their documents and share with their committee members.
Seeds of Strength solicits donations and/or sponsorships from local businesses.
The board evaluates the results from Year 2 and determines how to proceed.
2025-2026 (Year 3)
New board members and committee chairs are assisted as needed by their predecessors and/or the Communication Technology Committee.
The board evaluates the results from Year 2 and determines how to proceed.
The Board will continue with the Year 2 activities if needed. If a restructuring is to take place, all affected committees will participate in planning and implementing necessary changes.
