| In the Spring of 2018, Board and staff of the Mitchell BIA worked together to update and refresh the Mitchell BIA Strategic Plan. This plan helps to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that employees, members, volunteers and stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes and assess and adjust the BIA’s direction in response to a changing environment. This strategic plan will help shape and guide our organization including who we serve, what we do, why we do it and the actions needed to measure success – all with an eye to the future. |
