What we're working on....
The Board is preparing the organization for
its second decade of offering information, referral, and peer support to
blind and visually impaired adults.
In 2007 there was a
broad-based updating of organizational By-Laws that was approved by the
membership in December, 2007.
During 2008 a Board
committee is preparing a comprehensive draft Strategic Plan that will
guide operations and budget for the next three years. Included in
the plan will be strengths and successes, weaknesses and ongoing
challenges, opportunities, threats, conclusions and implications.
Once this document is approved by the Board, it will be developed into
measurable goals and outcomes and tied closely to budget projections.
This is a major undertaking. |
