CESSE Strategic Plan
The CESSE Strategic Plan defines the CESSE Mission, Fundamental Values, Operating Principles, and Key Success Indicators. The two focus areas for strategic goals and strategies in the plan are: 1) Education of Members and 2) Networking.
All CESSE members are urged to become familiar with this plan, and to communicate with the CESSE Board and CESSE Committees regarding ideas for the future, and to volunteer to contribute to achieving the goals and implementing the strategies.
As an all-volunteer organization with no staff, the success of CESSE is dependent on the contributions from as many of its Senior and Associate members as possible.
