We need to remain both vigilant and opportunistic . This Board has developed and approved a significant number of major initiatives that impact not only System, but educational partners, business community, state. Many of our initiatives are interlocked with others. Most are strategic, long-term efforts whose payoff won't be fully realized for some time. It's not enough to just wind them up and get them going.
Successful implementation depends on our good people at the campuses.
Not tablets of stone. Our focus should not be on preserving the original form of these initiatives, but that their goals are accomplished. We need to work to ensure that we remain open and flexible in terms of encouraging the evolution of initiatives into the most appropriate form necessary for their eventual success . Collaboration is key . Our partners are most important allies in this effort.
