Adopt-A-Family’s Strategic Plan serves as a roadmap for the agency - a path toward organizational growth and impact. Developed through a collaborative process between board and staff, the 2022-2027 Strategic Plan reflects a shared commitment to thoughtful planning, accountability, and continuous improvement. Progress toward the plan’s goals is actively monitored. At each monthly board meeting, the Chief Executive Officer provides an update on deliverables and action items, ensuring the agency remains aligned with its strategic priorities.
The 2022–2027 Strategic Plan is organized around four key focus areas: Program and Service Excellence, Talent Management and Culture, Fiscal Strength, and Operational Efficiency and Effectiveness. An overview of each core area and its objectives can be found in the Strategic Plan summary below.
