This summer and fall, A3 is embarking on our first-ever strategic planning process.

This strategic plan will drive our organizational operations and direction moving forward, and we need your help.

A team of 10 board members, staff, and advisors from each segment of A3 membership has been assembled to serve as the Strategic Planning Committee. With support from an expert facilitator, this committee will work with the A3 board to develop our strategic plan over the next five months. This plan will address the following areas of our organization:

Program – quality, growth, and stability

Infrastructure – membership, staff/board development and succession

Marketing & Fundraising – communication, messaging, funding sources

This plan will be built on buy-in and input from the A3 community—specifically from our members. We’ve developed a short survey for A3 members. We hope you’ll take this opportunity to provide input on A3’s strategic plan, including letting us know what we’re doing well, what elements of our work matter most to you, and where we might be falling short.


The membership survey can be accessed at the link below and should take no more than 7 minutes to complete. We need your input by September 2, 2021.
