CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE On behalf of the Board of Directors for Learning Independence For Tomorrow, I am pleased to present our 2021-2024 Strategic Plan. This plan represents our forward-looking vision for LiFT and affirms the fundamental principles and values that serve as the foundation of our organization. Building upon the success of our humble beginnings in 2013, this strategic plan provides the framework for enhancing the exceptional educational environment and life skills training. I would like to offer my sincere appreciation to the strategic planning committee, led by Mr. Elliad Granger, our parents, LiFT team members, students and community supporters who took the time and interest to participate in multiple breakout sessions and meetings. After months of bold conversations and thought provoking work sessions, we completed the strategic plan with a more comprehensive mission and vision to include our adult LiFT learners. This Strategic Plan will be a living document that will shape the course of our organization for years to come. LiFT continues to be blessed by the many members of our community who give so generously of themselves, through their time, talents and treasures. We are grateful for the sacrifices and support of all those involved in helping our organization become the success it is today. We are committed to ensuring that all students are valued and have a sense of acceptance and belonging. In our community, LiFT is already a recognized leader in the landscape of special and inclusive education and life skills training. Our 2021-2024 Strategic Plan sets forth our determined path to further establish LiFT as the premier academic and transition institution empowering and inspiring individuals with neurodiversity to learn, thrive and succeed. This plan and the priorities set forth within, will help us achieve our vision and move towards a world where independence is possible for all. Respectfully,
Keli Mondello
