A brief description of how multiple stakeholder groups were involved in developing the plan:

When the newly constituted Strategic Plan Coordinating Committee (chaired by Diane Holder) met for the first time in February of 2009, the members of the Committee suggested that Vision 20/20 be “refreshed” in light of recent developments such as the economic recession.


A brief description of the plan’s measurable goals :

When the newly constituted Strategic Plan Coordinating Committee (chaired by Diane Holder) met for the first time in February of 2009, the members of the Committee suggested that Vision 20/20 be “refreshed” in light of these developments. The inclusion of these new developments, although relatively few in number, had a wide-ranging impact on Vision 20/20 because each impacted more than one section of the plan. What follows is a “refreshed” version of Vision 20/20, not a reinvention. The major difference between the original and “refreshed” versions is the inclusion of the new developments in the latter. References to objectives or goals that have already been accomplished (such as the creation of area studies certificates) or to enrollment figures that existed at the time the original was written (and upon which assumptions were made that have proved to be correct) have been left as they were. References to actions that have been impacted by the inclusion of the new developments have been modified accordingly. In all other material respects, the “refreshed” version stays true to the vision found in the original Vision 20/20.


A brief description of how progress in meeting the plan’s goals is measured:

We measure our progress based on our green house gas emissions, waste and water audits, sustainability survey, and STARS.
