President's Message
Holiday Greetings!
Welcome to the Holidays, v. 2011! This is my favorite time of the year, and I hope to fully enjoy it some day. The stress of maintaining the balance between work and home is at its height during the holiday season. When the “days dwindle down to a precious few” in December, city council meeting agendas can become crowded with running-out-of-time items, much like Black Friday shopping trips. Once that last meeting in December has occurred, peace typically returns to the office. It becomes the perfect time for strategic planning.
The strategic plan I mean is yours and not the one belonging to the organization. You probably have goals incorporated into your work plan for fiscal year 2011-2012 that demonstrate how your efforts will support the organization’s plan. more
