Strategic  Plan

  • 打印页面

概述

6月9日, 2020, the 董事会 of Governors approved the strategic plan that will serve as the foundation for the 酒吧’s vision over the next five years.

The plan’s six priorities focus on the 酒吧’s vision of leading within the legal profession, empowering individuals, enhancing member value, 提供公共服务和专业卓越, fostering community and connections, 鼓励卓越的组织和运营.

过程

In the fall of 2019, 苏珊·霍夫曼总统任命了一个战略规划委员会, chaired by former President Tim Webster. Committee members were selected to represent the breadth of interests of the 酒吧’s 110,000+ strong member base. The American 酒吧 Association’s 酒吧 Services Division was engaged as a consultant to facilitate the process.

The Committee first surveyed the legal landscape and completed an in-depth assessment of the 酒吧’s programs and 服务. Our core values of diversity, 股本, and inclusion were given significant emphasis throughout planning discussions. 随后进行了全面的利益相关者分析. 确保优先事项反映所有成员的声音, 委员会分发了一份面向全体成员的调查.

一旦调查结果被汇总和分析, 为焦点小组和一对一访谈起草了主题和问题. Over six months, 委员会与成员进行了数十次便利的讨论, 工作人员, institutional partners, and legal profession and community leaders to obtain additional input and finalize the framework.

展望未来

The 董事会 of Governors’ affirmative vote signals the beginning of our five-year journey.

In coming months, executive leadership and 工作人员 will work closely with the 董事会 of Governors to operationalize the plan. Immediate next steps include identifying organizational implications of the priorities and objectives; scoping and executing projects bound by performance metrics; and continuously reporting progress.

为使计划真正反映会员的声音, individual members are encouraged to share their feedback throughout the coming months.

下面的框架整合了多种兴趣和需求. It provides direction while giving the 酒吧 the flexibility to adjust as circumstances warrant. 它解决了会员和澳博app协会的直接需求, 并鼓励澳博app公会探索影响行业的长期趋势. 最后, it balances the 酒吧’s responsibility to serve the public interest while supporting individual lawyers in the D.C.metro area and around the globe.
