ACEC Ohio Adopts Long-Range Strategic Plan

Three-year plan elevates the Council to the next level

 Over the past year, the ACEC Ohio Planning Committee has been working on a long-range strategic plan for the Council.  This is a three-year plan and the first time ACEC Ohio has taken a long-range view of the organization.  The planning process was kicked off in September, with a facilitated session discussing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the Council.  Three big picture goals were identified and sent onto the smaller planning committee.  This small group surveyed other state ACEC organizations and defined a “key” goal as well as six macro objectives to achieve this goal. 

Key Goal: Elevate ACEC Ohio so it is the recognized advocate by all for the engineering business in Ohio.

• The Council will achieve this goal by increasing the effectiveness of the Board, President, Committees, Chapters and Political Action Committee.
• Vision Statement: ACEC Ohio will be the leading advocate, authority and voice for the promotion and protection of engineering businesses in Ohio.
• Mission Statement: Advocate for the advancement and protection of the engineering business.

 Macro Objectives:

• Branding-modified vision and mission statements
• Legislative Advocacy -expand efforts at various levels
• Financial Resources – increase to improve organizational effectiveness
• Board of Directors – improve governance and strategic thrust
• ACEC Ohio President – allocate resources to better focus efforts
• Committees – improve effectiveness, participation and outreach
• Chapters – improve relationship, function and alignment with ACEC Ohio
• Political Action Committee (PAC) – increase resources and participation

The Strategic Plan was adopted by the ACEC Board of Directors in May and presented to membership at the June Annual Meeting.  To review the long-range strategic plan, click STRATEGIC PLAN.
