BIA Strategic Planning | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Wiarton BIA Board of Management feels that in order to move forward with the vision that is the best fit for the BIA area, a Strategic Plan should be established. Three members of the BIA Board of Management have been attending training through OMAFRA and the OBIAA to learn about the best methods of approaching the implementation of a Strategic Plan. The first step was to host a stakeholder meeting. The meeting was held on February 26, 2024. Attendees consisted of both BIA members and members of the public. A PowerPoint presentation was given and this formed the basis for open idea sharing and information gathering. The Board of Management members who facilitated the meeting will be reviewing the information and will be presenting the findings to the Board of Management. The Board of Management realizes that not everyone may have been able to attend. We encourage those who still want to participate to review the PowerPoint Presentation and send in your answers to the exercises in the presentation. The specific exercises are: (1) for slide 10, send us your newspaper headline and an outline of the article (bullet points are okay)—only take 5 minutes or so for this exercise—; (2) for slide 11, send us a short list of your vision statement keywords, concepts, and/or themes; and (3) for slide 15 send us your answers to the questions on slide 12. The Board of Management members will do their best to include any answers received by the 20th of March, 2024, in the strategic planning process going forward. Answers should be forwarded to Town Hall, 315 George Street, Wiarton ON N0H 2T0. |
