To get where you need to be, you have to know where you are going and how to get there. This is the task successfully undertaken by the AACPM Strategic Planning Committee.

At the 2008 Annual AACPM Conference in Columbus, Ohio, a small committee was charged to gather information and complete a report to include recommendations of goals, objectives and activities for the AACPM membership and the AACPM Board for 2010 and beyond. Mark Evans and Charlene Cutting led the committee.

"We acknowledged that our charge included the production of recommendations for the AACPM membership and AACPM Board for the next three years and we were committed to producing credible and actionable action items deserving of priority and demonstrable progress in service to the AACPM membership," said Evans. "We did struggle with the longevity of identified activities, yet we felt strong agreement around the higher level goals and objectives we developed."

Co-chair Charlene Cutting said, "Most fundamentally, we believed we have best served AACPM by providing a template within this strategic plan which might help guide thoughtful, participatory development of new purposeful work within a framework reflecting a hierarchy of objectives and goals which clearly support AACPM’s mission and vision."

Evans and Cutting agreed if their committee’s work facilitates ongoing strategic thinking around the relevance of what the Academy does, that they have been successful.

For a link to all documents of this committee’s work, including those below, see the Governance page on the AACPM website (www.cpmacademy.org):
