Strategic Planning

NARPM® Leadership Works from a Strategic Plan

This plan is a living document that encourages strategic thinking, creative, and careful consideration of the future. This document culminates the dynamic process of positioning NARPM ® for the future. It gives overall guidance and direction on agreed upon goals, yet charges the volunteer and management staff to deal with unknown, unexpected and unpredictable issues. Regular review of the strategic plan will incorporate changes in the environment, shifting goals, and new ventures.
