Strategic Planning:
Your Roadmap to Success!

Does your non-profit have an up-to-date strategic plan?  Did you know that a strategic plan is the single most important resource an association can have to chart its success? Developing a strategic plan for your organization accomplishes the following four important goals:

• It gives management a tool to use to marshal resources in the most efficient manner

• It is an excellent membership recruiting and retention tool.  It demonstrates your promise of service to your membership, and the value non-members will receive if they join

• It gives the Board of Directors a template to use to evaluate the effectiveness of management

• It brings consensus to the board regarding the main priorities for the organization and helps direct staff’s efforts

Many organizations balk at holding a strategic planning retreat, as their past experiences have caused a loss of trust in the process.  That is where we come in!  With over 30 years experience, specifically in non-profit specific strategic planning facilitation, Donnelly K. Eurich, CAE, CMP, President of  Eurich Management Services (EMS) can bring together diverse membership factions, unite your board and provide you a comprehensive, achievable, action plan to form the blueprint for the future of your association!

Why Retain Donn Eurich?
Our one day planning sessions are structured, productive and enjoyable for participants.  We provide you not only with the process to develop your plan, but the procedure to keep your plan current and effective as a management tool.  Too often, strategic plans are conducted and then filed away until the next planning session.  We will show you how to keep your plan in the forefront of your board’s governance process!

Once an organization has tried strategic planning and fallen short of their expectations, it is often difficult to revisit the process.  With Donn Eurich as your facilitator,  we guarantee you will be satisfied with your plan! Don’t leave the facilitation of this important process to an inexperienced  volunteer or facilitator with no hands-on experience!  Demonstrate to your membership that you are serious about the future of your organization, and dedicated to charting a future which combines innovation, service and value! Start by retaining a facilitator who brings  experience, knowledge and credentials to the process.

Now is the perfect time to conduct a plan, as you will have time to form committees, make appropriate budget estimates for new activities, and begin implementing the plan in anticipation of an upcoming fiscal year and membership recruiting drive.
