RE: Motion for Strategic Planning Committee

["E. R. Epperson" <kirklee@triad.rr.com>]

Thank you, Jody:

 

It will be my direction to the Strategic Planning Committee that we
formulate long-range goals such as fund raising and membership, etc. In my
view, internal structure and operations can, and should be, handled on a
one-on-one basis as they arise.  The Operations/Policy Manual(a work in
progress) is a document that details the duties and expectations of all of
the standing committees and administrative positions of AIS.  Ideally, an
archival listing of policies pertaining to each position will be included.
This latter is a monumental task.

 

The discussion concerning an ad hoc or a standing committee is a valid one.
However, until we can streamline our standing committee structure (there are
28 at the present time) I do not want to request another standing committee.
The ad hoc committee will give the impetus for planning and futuring.

 

Roy

I would like to know the charter for this committee.

Is it strategic in the sense of the direction of AIS vis a vis

organizational issues such as cooperating societies, internal

structure, and operations?  Or more long-range goals for the

organization such as fund raising and membership?

Having been the director of planning for several large agencies, I am

very much in favor of any group thinking strategically and laying out

a framework for the future.  However, I would strongly recommend

defining a clear purpose for this group.  My guess is, given the names

mentioned, that this has already been done.  I have great respect for

the abilities of all of them. Perhaps I missed it.
