2010 has proven to be a year of strategic development for NAAP.

In early 2010, the NAAP National Assembly adopted 3-year Strategic Plan aimed at developing a sustainable and scalable institution capable of advancing a prosperous and influential community across our national network.

The plan is grounded in 8 strategic imperatives; each of which aims to strengthen NAAP's infrastructure and ability to achieve our collective objectives:

1) Grow an active and engaged membership base through concentrated focus on the primary (emerging/ developing professionals) & secondary target groups (established professionals)

2) Foster leadership through outreach efforts to local community including youth/ students and developing transitioning roles for current NAAP leadership, active volunteer base

3) Focus on innovation through ensuring member ideas and energy are cultivated and maximized

4) Strengthen standing of organization by developing events and programs focused on the evolving needs of the community and complimenting org landscape

5) Solidify national entity to support and encourage chapters and growth of national network

6) Improve governance to ensure sustainability of local and national institution

7) Enhance brand identity through aligned and enhanced communication of NAAP vision and mission

8) Operationalize fundraising through cohesive national and local campaigns

Chapters around the country will be focused on implementing plans which support and connect to these imperatives.

We achieved so much over the past years and only with your continued support, passion and volunteerism can we hope to achieve these lofty goals.
