Strategic Planning Process – 2022-2023
Dear Firebirds:
Over the past year, we have been hard at work engaging our internal and external stakeholders in our strategic planning process to build on the momentum of The Equity Imperative. This broad outreach and engagement traversed the UDC community through various modalities, including surveys, office hours, town hall meetings, interviews, and focus groups. This has led to the creation of three strategic goals that provide the framework for the next iteration of the strategic plan: Identity, Partnerships and the UDC Experience. You can read about this process and all we learned from our stakeholders in the UDC Strategic Planning Report.
We will continue these efforts, finalizing the work plan and moving toward plan implementation. We closed out the year with a final town hall with an overview of the work to date and next steps. We anticipate that a final work plan will be presented to the Board of Trustees for their approval at their September meeting and will coordinate another town hall in the fall to share the new plan with the Firebird community. We still welcome your feedback – if you would like to contribute additional thoughts to this process, please contact LINK Strategic Partners at udc@linksp.com.
Thank you for your time and attention to this important process. We look forward to working with you in the next stages of this journey.
