On August 19th the Strategic Planning Committee had its final meeting (a joint meeting with members of the Executive Board, Committee Chairs, and staff). The Committee recommends a mission, vision statement, and nine ambitious goals for 2005-2010. The Executive Board is reviewing the Plan at their September meeting.

The Plan will be finalized by the Executive Board before NMRLS 9th Annual Meeting in November. However, steps toward implementation and their prioritization must be decided soon to meet the goals and allow NMRLS and the membership to attain our vision (see Annual Meeting).
