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.  Working with a consultant, the Board reviews the cooperative's strategic direction in a variety of fields.  These resulting objectives serve as guidance for all the cooperative's activities and projects.
