Strategic Committee

Scope of work:

This Minnesota Watersheds Strategic Plan is intended to be a long-range, 10-year plan. Each year the Strategic Plan Committee will make recommendations to the Minnesota Watersheds Board of Directors on the organization’s top priorities. The Tactics Timetable will be developed based upon priorities determined by the Strategic Plan Committee and recommended to the Minnesota Watersheds Board of Directors as follows: annual work plan for the Minnesota Watersheds Board of Directors; two-year work plan for the Executive Director; and five- and 10-year work plans based on Strategic Plan Committee priorities and work accomplished. This process will be done to better ensure accomplishing the goals and setting expectations for member watershed districts, watershed management organizations, the Minnesota Watersheds Board of Directors, and the Executive Director.

Here is the six-month Strategic Plan update - June 2023.
