Strategic Planning Resources
PURPOSE
Strategic Planning is an important practice of successful organizations and Chapters. It helps leaders and members align their values, purpose, initiatives, and plans for what they want to achieve. This guide is to help guide through the process of creating a Strategic Plan that can then be implemented by a Chapter.
THE STRUCTURE
This guide is broken into 5 key sections:
- Values/Purpose of the Chapter
- Environmental Scan
- Identifying Key Focus Areas
- Planning
- Implementation
The end product will be a complete Strategic Plan for the Chapter with specific goals and an action plan charted out.
This process should be done by at least the Executive Council of the Chapter but can also include general members. Other key resources to consider involving are your Chapter Advisor(s), National Staff Contact, Fraternity/Sorority Life Advisor, and Alumni.
