The LRAC Board of Directors (BoD) and their Executive Director carried out a strategic planning seminar from September to November of 2024. The seminar was facilitated by Mark Thorn, a nonprofit consultant. The plan contains two strategic objectives, operational tasks for the objectives, and their concomitant subtasks. The two primary strategic objectives will be conducted concurrently with emphasis on the first task. The BoD also developed a skeleton plan for a potential third objective, which is being tabled to allow increased focus on the first two strategic objectives. This potential third strategic objective will be undertaken once resources to carry it out have been identified. In the course of developing the Strategic Plan, several institutional operational and tactical tasks were identified; these are not part of the strategic plan, but part of ongoing efforts to make LRAC more efficient and effective. The results of the plan are contained below.
Strategic Objectives
I. Increase awareness of LRAC in the local community, with other local nonprofits, and in the state, county, and local governments by establishing consistent messaging internally and externally.
II. Develop strategic partnerships to solve the homeless and working class housing problems.
III. Establish LRAC as the clearing house in the Cape Henlopen School District and Georgetown area for ideas and information for the underserved population and other nonprofits in the areas of housing and food insecurity. – Strategic Objective currently tabled.
