We Need YOUR Help to Prioritize our Strategic Actions!
The strategic plan includes several important action items intended to support the larger objectives of the Chapter, but we understand that we can’t accomplish them all in one year. We are looking to you, Virginia Chapter members, to help us prioritize our action items over the next year.
We have created a short prioritization survey to help us understand what members believe are the highest priority action items for near-term focus. The responses will be used to inform the final ASLA committee structure and action items over the next year and beyond. Please take 5-10 minutes to complete the following survey by Wednesday, April 24.
