Strategic Planning
The Board’s Role in Direction-Setting
Strategic planning is one of the core responsibilities of a Board. It isn’t about managing day-to-day work — it’s about setting direction.
This resource outlines the board’s role in guiding long-term strategy: clarifying goals, grounding decisions in mission and vision, understanding the landscape through discovery and stakeholder input, and monitoring progress over time. It’s designed to help boards stay focused on where the organization is going — not just what it’s doing right now
