We are pleased to present this first strategic plan of the Washington DC Chapter of CFEs
(Chapter). The Chapter Board of Directors (Board) will use this plan as its roadmap for
the future and to focus the Board's efforts to arrive at the desired future state. The
planning process is continual and as significant changes occur in our organization or its
environment, requisite revisions will be made to this document. As the Board's
planning efforts become more sophisticated, additional components, such as
performance metrics, will be added.
In publishing this plan, the Board believes that it is demonstrative of good governance,
transparency, and critical for continued success. The Chapter is member-centric and,
with this in mind, our strategic goals were formulated. The goals are to: 1) Provide
value to our members; 2) Provide relevant and useful educational programs; and 3)
Increase effectiveness of networking programs.
The Board assigned the task of developing this plan to a task force consisting of one
current board member, one former Chapter president, and two external volunteers.
Those individuals are: Carl Hoecker, Jerry Rainwaters, Suzanne Wheeler, and Dwight
Perkins, respectively. We thank the task force members for many hours they dedicated
to arrive at this plan.
Finally, we encourage readers and members who may have suggestions for improving
this plan or our operation, to e-mail us at suggestions@acfedc.org.
