CLEARS
FIVE YEAR PLAN
January 2006 – December 2010
(Revised by Executive Board July 7,
2005)
Although never formally stated, it has
been the goal of the CLEARS organization to develop to its maximum
potential and to be a complete resource for its members.
Toward this end, a five-year plan is
proposed with three initial goals:
To
enhance training
To
further internal organizational development
To
expand external organizational development
The Five-year guideline is intended as a
catalyst to encourage planning and development by each executive
board. The time frame is not absolute; it allows flexibility for
future boards to adapt the stated goals to the current needs of the
organizations.
The objectives for each goal are broad
statements drawn from the needs and desires expressed by the
membership. This allows for the creativity and imagination of the
organization accomplishing the goal. And, although the objectives
are in a suggested order of importance, it is by no means a mandate
for completion. Each and every objective fulfilled is an important
step toward the stated goal.
It is intended that each new board
assess the status of the plan, amend if appropriate and throughout
its term, report on its contribution toward fulfillment.
