Strategic Planning has been Jud Harper's responsibility and I am expecting some changes with his retirement. A thought to consider is to change the strategic planning process from a one year to a two year process with an update during intervening years. Key strategies do not have to changed every year. By using a two year cycle, there will be more time for developing strategies. The Strategic Plan is purely a strategy for change.
Many key strategies require more than an year to develop.
A strategy can always be added. The APC could make a strong proposal to support the change. During the extensive discussion, some changes that were suggested and which the Awards Committee assumed were made were not recorded. In turn, during the September meeting, J.Barth moved that the changes suggested by the Awards Committee be approved as recorded during the August meeting. The correction would be to the make-up of the Awards Selection Committee.
