The Steering Committee will play a critical role in drafting our new strategic plan, and its members will serve as valuable thought partners in determining our district’s key priorities and how to achieve them. Members will also act as ambassadors for the strategic planning process to ensure transparency across the district. Steering committee members will share the work with, and solicit feedback from, their larger group of constituents, resulting in a more robust and inclusive process.
