Strategic Planning Initiative

The CAA Academic Alliance embarked on a strategic planning initiative in Fall, 2022. Driven by Alliance membership growth and interest in expansion of programmatic initiatives, the Provosts’ Council participated in a Strategic Visioning session during the Spring, 2023 Council meetings. As next steps, the Council voted for the approval of the updated Mission Statement for the Alliance, while creating a strategic planning committee guided by Provosts from several CAA Academic Alliance institutions.

Working throughout Summer, 2023, the strategic planning committee drafted the Alliance’s Vision Statement, Value Statements, and Core Values, which were presented for discussion by the Council during their Fall, 2023 meeting. Updates were adopted into the Governance in Spring, 2024. A draft Strategic Plan was presented to the Council during the Fall, 2025 meetings. An Implementation Plan, with mission-driven programmatic initiatives for the Alliance, will be presented for final approval during the Spring, 2025 Provosts Council meetings.
