ISA Strategic Goals
The ISA Board of Directors has recently defined a new strategic plan for the organization. The new strategic plan is based
on a set of end statements, which are 10-year goals that will drive the organization over the long-term and help to create unity in our projects, processes and priorities.
To support this effort, ISA Committees will develop objectives that will help ISA work toward achieving the end statements over the next five to ten years.
Understanding Our Strategic Goals
There are seven end statements listed below, which are the major areas that ISA will focus on over the next ten years. If you have
questions or would like to know more about any of these end statements and objectives, please contact any of the champions that
are listed under each end statement. The champions are members of the Board of Directors who have particular interest in
and passion for a particular area. The Board of Directors welcome the opportunity to talk about this strategic plan.
