Program
President Gary and PE Leslie handed out Strategic Planning surveys to those in attendance. Gary went over SWOT-looking at our club’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Our club’s strategic plan will define our purpose, goals and objectives for now and the future. There was some discussion on each of the components, but more discussion will take place after a tabulation of the results.
