NORTH DAKOTA PLANNING ASSOCIATION
ROOTED IN THE PAST WITH A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
The NDPA strives to provide planners, commissioners, and interested citizens of North Dakota an exchange of ideas and opportunity to learn more about planning in the state and region.
NDPA STRATEGIC PLAN
The purpose of the 2023-2028 NDPA Strategic Plan is to provide the NDPA board with a guiding document to assist in decision-making surrounding the allocation of limited resources towards achieving established goals. Further, the strategic plan provides the general membership with predictability with regard to the direction of the organization as a whole.
This is the first strategic plan undertaken since the organization was first established in 1973. The idea to undertake a strategic planning effort was presented at the Annual Membership meeting in Fall 2021. The strategic planning process began in Spring 2022 culminating with a draft of the document presented to the general membership at the Annual Membership meeting in Fall 2023.
NDPA has hosted a series of strategic planning sessions in 2023 to gain feedback from members on various areas NDPA strives to improve upon. Topics discussed included an evaluation and update to the NDPA Mission, Vision, and Value statements, to educational, financial, legislation, professional relationships, and membership. We also provided a quick survey to ask questions to help shape the goals and objectives of this plan.
As the NDPA continues to mature and new members volunteer in general or leadership capacities, the strategic plan will need to be reevaluated to ensure it’s reflective of the desires of the overall organization. Organizational strategic plans generally have a shelf life of three to five years and then require an update. It is the hope that future volunteers will continue to build from this effort and grow the organization in the most efficient, effective, and proactive means possible. We are soliciting member feedback on where NDPA should focus our efforts.
The NDPA Association adopted the Strategic Plan at their regular scheduled board meeting on December 7, 2023.
