STRATEGIC GVR
At the regular meeting on July 28, the Board of Directors adopted a new Five-Year Strategic Plan. The plan includes work by the Board, including new mission and vision statements and five high-level goals.

GVR HAS A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN!

GOVERNANCE
SOUND FINANCIAL BASE The plan will improve continuity as Boards and Committees change from year to year, and will provide a foundation for annual budget development. It will also improve accountability as the plan acts as a transparent and explicit promise to the membership. GVR’s last Five-Year Strategic Plan expired in 2018. Completing a new one was a high priority for CEO Scott Somers when he came on board in January. By May, Zelos, LLC had been selected to facilitate the process and a whole-membership survey was underway. With 2,814 surveys and feedback from 64 focus group participants in hand, Zelos staff facilitated Board retreats to develop the goals listed above. Then they led staff through a series of meetings to flesh out an operational plan to pursue the goals the Board had written. All parties came together to fine tune a draft of the plan on July 21 during a Board work session, and the final product was adopted and approved by the Board of Directors at the regular meeting on July 28.
