    registering is too difficult

    Mary Lou Gibson asked about 3 years ago

    Hello Mary Lou, thank you very much for reaching out to us via this platform. We are sorry to hear about the registration process.

    It's important to note that to participate in the 2021-2031 Strategic Plan, there is no registration required, it is simply just an option should you wish to become a registered participant.

    In the next couple of weeks, we will be launching a survey, online engagement tools, and in the future we will be hosting virtual information sessions as well. While you do have the option of being a registered participant, this is not a requirement. 

    This platform and public participation in the Strategic Plan process is completely anonymous as it is important that the community feels comfortable providing feedback.

    We hope this information helps and that you will be involved in shaping the next ten years of conservation in this watershed! Feel free to reach out should you have additional questions or comments.

    What is a Strategic Plan?

    about 3 years ago

    A strategic plan is a document that establishes an organization’s direction, gives purpose and priority, guides activities and operations, and helps measure progress against specific objectives.

    Are you going to be offering any in-person engagement sessions?

    over 3 years ago

    While the preference is for traditional (in-person) engagement opportunities, we will not be able to offer in-person session given the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will rely on virtual engagement tools and techniques to involve the watershed community in the strategic planning process. In addition, we will do our best to accommodate requests to participate using other methods (e.g., hardcopy surveys).

    How is this strategic plan being developed? Is it different than last time?

    over 3 years ago

    Yes, we are taking a new approach to developing this new strategic plan. Detailed Strategic Plan project planning and implementation activities are being led by a staff working group under the leadership of a Project Manager and the CAO (with support from the Senior Leadership Team). The NPCA Board of Directors provide approval authority for the strategic plan with guidance and oversight provided by an ad-hoc committee of the Board. The NPCA Public Advisory Committee helps provide guidance on the outreach/engagement components through information exchange with the Strategic Planning Committee and staff

    How long will this strategic plan guide the NPCA?

    over 3 years ago

    The new strategic plan will guide the NPCA’s organizational activities and operations for the next 10 years (2021-2031) with a 5 year check-in update to ensure we are on track.

    Didn’t the NPCA just complete a strategic plan? Why are you doing it again?

    over 3 years ago

    The current NPCA strategic plan (Partners In Conservation – A Shared Responsibility) ends in 2021. In late 2019, the new NPCA Board of Directors determined that a new Strategic Plan should be initiated in 2020 and was identified as an organizational priority.
