Strategic Plans Underway

Two very important strategic plans are underway by our partners here at DSVP. Our partners are putting that important intellectual capital to work both for Dallas Community Light House and DSVP!

Dallas Community Lighthouse
DSVP Partners and Dallas Community Lighthouse (DCL) Board members and staff began the first stage of DCL's Strategic Planning process with a productive Board Development planning session on Wednesday, July 7th. Gary Capshaw, DCL co-Lead Partner led the session attended by DSVP Partners Carol Maier, Phyllis Bernstein, Charlotte Keany, Susan Hoff, and Robin Minick (DCL co-LP) and DCL Board members, Paula DeGroat, Bishop Miller E. Johnson, Jr., and Executive Director Diana Baker. Carol Maier, a new DSVP Partner with extensive Board development experience provided the initial guidance for the planning session. Process and calendar details were negotiated along with goals and actions items identified. We look forward to learning more about this important work as the process unfolds.

What would we be without strategic visioning and planning for a mission. At DSVP, our board and partners have reflected on ten years of impact and look into their crystal ball to envision the next evolution of our work. Multiple data-points (located on the Portal) have been collected in preparation of this auspicious work: Center for Nonprofit Management's Organizational Assessment, Richards Group Brand Audit, and a Partner Satisfaction survey are the three main informing documents leading to this outcomes based work. Partners are invited to participate in three work streams as our board gathers comments and ideas around the outcomes that we seek. for more information and to get involved call our committee chair, Brad Logan, or Meghan Hale at mhale@dsvp.org.
