What is next for the SDCWC? What are the SDCWC priorities over the next few years?
In 2006, the SDCWC board identified a need for a more strategic approach to making decisions about restoration opportunities and fundraising and organization issues. The SDCWC board and more than 40 ‘participants’ and other members of the public held an all day planning meeting facilitated by River Network. Based on this foundation, a planning team of volunteers, agency representatives and other public members worked over six months to produce a strategic plan with goals, objectives and activities to be carried out over the following three years. This plan was reviewed monthly as it was developed and revised at SDCWC public meetings. Based on an advisory vote from SDCWC public meeting participants, the board voted to adopt the plan in March 2007. The plan is posted on the web site. The SDCWC board is committed to using this plan as a communication and planning tool and will be implementing it, reviewing it regularly and updating and revising it based on advice from SDCWC participants.
