  Step Comments
1. Launching each year's strategic planning effort. The Committee Chairman schedules and facilitates kick-off and orientation meeting for the Strategic Plan Committee; explaining the Structure, all Roles and Responsibilities, individual member roles, last year's planning document, forms for Action Plans, Snapshots of Progress, Plan Performance, and "comments" format for APCS mentoring to Objective Champions on Action Plans.

The first meeting also initiates campus committee and department SWOT analyses and recommendations.
2. Redefinition of previous year and Objectives. The Strategic Plan Committee meets to review last year's plan and develop a draft of the new Objectives, considering all relevant input from SWOT analyses and recommendations. (In all likelihood, most, if not all, of the content for the Preamble, Mission, Statement of Values, and Goals will remain the same.) (Approximately 2 meetings.)
3. Selection of Objective Champions. Once a draft is completed, (Step 2), each Goal Champion submits names of people for Objective Champions for endorsement by the Strategic Plan Committee.
4. Polishing the Draft. The Strategic Plan Committee and all Objective Champions meet to polish the draft created in Step 2. (Approximately 2 meetings.)
5. Presentation of plan to faculty. The final draft of the plan, as created by the Strategic Plan Committee and Objective Champions, is presented to interested faculty for final polish and adoption. (1 meeting)
6. Submittal of Action Plans. The Committee chairperson assembles all Action Plans from Objective Champions in time for each Action Plan Coordinating Subcommittee meeting.
7. Action Plan Coordinating Subcommittee Meetings. The APCS meets each period to review all Action Plans, develop Snapshots of Progress data, and provide mentoring to each Objective Champion by way of a "comments" report addressing suggested improvements on Action Plans.
8. Strategic Plan Committee Meetings. The Strategic Plan Committee meets each period to review the APCS Snapshots of Progress report, "comments" on Action Plan reports, and agree on data for Plan Performance form.
