The SMPA Strategic Objectives
Every three years, the SMPA Board uses a strategic planning process to align organizational direction with the mission, vision and core values of SMPA.
SMPA's democratic governance depends upon the Board Representatives bringing their individual and regional concerns and perspectives to the table. Throughout a two-day session in July of 2020, the representatives met in person, with state-dictated gathering limitations, masking and social-distancing precautions in place. Working with a consultant, they reviewed the cooperative's strategic direction in a variety of fields.
