The mission, or purpose of a strategic plan outlines the reason for developing the plan. It identifies which tasks are required to be accomplished as a result of completing the planning process. In this instance, Senate Bill 383 as adopted by the 69th Session of the Nevada Legislature, provides clear direction with respect to the mission of the Authority.
Vision statements are descriptions of a realistic, desired future.
They are intended to paint a clear picture of a point a significant distance away. In the case of the Strategic Planning Authority's strategic plan, the time frame is 20 years. The Authority members realized that they needed to make a dynamic statement of what they believe describes the desired future for Southern Nevada. These carefully chosen words send a strong, clear message about what the Authority members believe can truly be achieved. The region's independent and diverse communities will collaboratively strive to provide quality, fiscally-responsible, and orderly development that enhances the quality of life of its citizens.
