Strategic Planning Committee to review to make sure there are not overlapping / redundancies or missing items from original draft. We want to make sure that the constituencies' voices were heard and included.
Questions discussed and that need to be defined, who owns the "plan", what are the measures, and who does the work. Possible for existing board committees to review to define and set measures.
