Stategic Planning...Fun?!
Who knew that strategic planning could be so much fun?
I think in these tough economic times people get discouraged about the future. Talking together and generating ideas on how to impact our future puts people back in control and gives them a sense of purpose.
When we opened up our strategic plan to the community we never imagined the response we would get! More than 50 community members are coming together on March 31st to talk about Child Care Network’s strategic plan. We’ll be getting their bounce on our ideas for sustainability and stability. As a nonprofit we want to hear from them on how we impact their community, benefits they use and what other kinds of services they would like to see us provide.
