In the summer of 2023, our Board of Directors gathered for a transformative two-day retreat to chart the course for our organization’s future with a new strategic plan spanning 2024 to 2028. The urgency for this initiative was clear: our board members and committee volunteers accomplished the ambitious goals outlined in the previous strategic plan an entire year ahead of schedule—an extraordinary achievement!
This milestone provided an opportunity for our leaders to reflect on the organization’s progress over the past decade, assess our current standing, and envision a bold and successful future.
The new strategic plan was thoughtfully developed using insights from member survey results, an analysis of the current landscape in our field, and the continued evolution of the association. It builds naturally on the achievements of prior goals while addressing emerging opportunities and challenges.
Our leadership has remained steadfastly aligned with AL!VE’s mission: to enhance and sustain the spirit of volunteering by fostering collaboration and networking, promoting professional development, and providing advocacy for leaders in community engagement.
