Strategic Planning Committee

The committee is appointed on an ad hoc basis by the Executive Board.

Committee Charge

The mission of the ARLIS/NA Strategic Planning Committee is to establish priorities for the Society by defining the mission, vision, and value statements, incorporating goals and objectives to keep the Society innovative, agile, and moving forward. Working with the Executive Board, committees, liaisons, and the general membership, the Strategic Planning Committee will develop a strategic planning document that describe our mission, vision, value statements, and strategic directions, as well as a dashboard to chart and measure our progress towards the plan’s goals. The Strategic Planning Committee will also serve as a resource during its term to assist the Society in realizing its strategic objectives, while also providing a cohesive transition for succeeding Strategic PlanningCommittees.

The structure of this committee is exempt from the committee structure outlined in ARLIS/NA Policy Manual, Policy No. G-1. The committee membership is appointed per the year and positions held at the time the ad hoc committee is formed and does not change throughout the tenure of the ad hoc committee.
