Dean Perey’s Verde Valley Advisory Group to report to College Strategic Planning Group–3 year strategic plan in the works
Dean Tom Hughes reported to the Governing Board on October 15 that the College is at the very beginning of developing its next three-year Strategic Plan. The College Strategic Plan committee will hold face-to-face discussions, SWAT analysis, and other types of things “to engage all of the stakeholders.” He did not define “stakeholders.”
The Committee consists of 6 faculty representatives, 4 members of the President’s Leadership Team, 5 administrative representatives, 5 staff representatives and 1 student representative. The Committee will be assembled and trained over the next three months. Committee members will then be sent out in pairs to different “stakeholder groups” to gather information and data.
In March-April a draft plan will be put together and the plan will be presented to “stakeholders” for input. The new plan will be implemented by May 2015.
There will be videos and information posted on the an up-to-date web site so the process is transparent. Hughes says he intends to update the Governing Board at each of its meetings. He also said that James Perey’s Advisory Group would feed into this Strategic Planning Committee. The full presentation by Tom Hughes to the Governing Board can be viewed by clicking here.
