A Year in Review with Kimberly Small
Q: How is member feedback shaping the association's strategy going forward?
Member feedback is driving the focus on stronger connections, easier access to resources, and a stronger voice in advocacy. This has led to the new five-year plan and initiatives like enhanced digital experiences, segmentation of districts, and improved outreach. The strategic plan will be adopted and rolled out with a clear implementation path.
A Year in Review with Kimberly Small
Q: What were your initial objectives for this fiscal year, and how did the organization perform on those goals?
The primary objectives included achieving 100 percent membership, developing a member-driven strategic plan, expanding advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels, and implementing technology-driven efficiencies. The organization met these goals, notably achieving full membership for the first time and laying groundwork for the five-year plan and improved processes.
What is Vision 2030?
