Strategic Planning
From OasisNYC
In 2004, the OASIS Steering Committee set out to prepare a strategic plan that would result in a more formalized organizational structure, a transparent decision-making process for the OASIS website, and sustainable funding mechanisms.
After forming a subcommittee and hiring a professional planning consultant, the steering committee reconvened on May 25, 2006 to review and discuss the planning research results, recommendations, and next steps. You can view the agenda, presentation, and minutes from the meeting.
Results
Outcomes of that meeting include:
- minutes (if you attended, please send us edits)
- a structure for decision-making and governance (pdf)
- criteria for deciding what information and tools are available on the website (pdf)
- a summary diagram of how all the pieces fit together (pdf)
- a summary of online survey responses (pdf)
Next steps
Work that still needs to be done includes:
- itemize fundraising needs -- see Sept. 22, 2006 Exec. Comm. minutes
- prepare a plan to secure sustainable funding, and circulate to potential supporters
- see Steering Committee meetings for ongoing planning activities
