 Development of New NACA Strategic Plan

In December 2010, the NACA Board of Directors participated in a Strategic Planning facilitated session. Through that process, the Board has identified the goals that will be discussed and finalized over the next months. It is important to the Board and to NACA as an association that you have the opportunity to review these goals at this stage and provide your thoughts and feedback as a matter of knowledge-based decision making. Please take the opportunity to read the statements below, and email your comments and feedback to Chris Gill cgill@fontbonne.edu who has led the NACA's Strategic Planning process since May, 2010.
