Strategic Plan 2021-2023

The following outline corresponds to the strategic plan voted into effect by the Board of Directors in November 2020.  It is the result of over a year of collaborative work facilitated by the Marillac Mission Fund’s Capacity Building program and conducted by the Board of Directors, key staff, and outside consultants including Dr. Nesa Joseph and New Chapter Coaching.  The plan goes into effect January 2021 with the Board of Directors receiving quarterly comprehensive updates on progress toward all established objectives.  Each objective is linked to action items, completion dates, performance measures, resources required, and staff responsible, which are omitted here for the sake of readability.
