Current Goals
Following are our agency's goals as reflected in our current strategic plan. Parallel to these goals, we have devoted considerable time and will present a plan to both Boards of Directors launching the Second Century initiative to strategically enhance the ability of our Foundation to support our work in future years. We've strategically invested and will continue to invest a good bit of time in recovering financially from the devastation of recent floods, the recession, and their impact on our business plan.
1. Address financial and human resources
2. Support and encourage decentralization and delegation in order that decisions are made by staff as close to clients as possible
3. Continue ongoing quality improvement
4. Enter into partnerships/coalitions/competition as appropriate to enhance the quality of our services.
5. Use appropriate marketing to increase awareness of Village services
