Mission, Vision, Goals ‘09-‘11
AFFIRMING MISSION, DEFINING VALUES, EXECUTING ON OUR GOALS
The GRANTMAKERS Board of Directors spent much of 2008 invested in a strategic planning process. While the mission of the organization remains the same, the Board developed a set of values and goals specific to the 2009 – 2011 timeframe. In planning programs and services for the coming year, you’ll see the commitment to these goals reflected in more programs happening across the state, the use of technology and even some new partnerships. Your suggestions for how we can better serve the grantmaking community are always welcome.
