The best plans provide direction on how organizations will focus their energies, allocate their time, and spend their money.
Good plans are also clear in their vision and in the core values they imply.
They lay the groundwork for the important choices that must be made by any organization working with an ambitious program and a limited budget. Plan 2001 seeks to establish direction and focus for the Music Library Association through the year 2001. The Plan is grounded in the purpose and values that have sustained the Association since its inception. It focuses on four Major Initiatives and, within the Initiatives, on nine Objectives. These Initiatives were developed from both an assessment of the external environment of the Association and an identification of key issues in the internal environment of the organization.
