Strategic Plan Templates

Professional chapters are encouraged to develop strategic plans for both the long term and short term. The purpose of the plan is to communicate the chapter's objectives so that others can contribute to the achievement of those objectives. This is also a great way to share knowledge and best practices.

A high quality strategic plan should contain:

• Strategic objectives & related action plans (two to five years out).
• Tactical objectives & related action plans (upcoming year).
• Chapter Web site, if applicable.

The minimum requirements for a basic strategic plan are:

• A calendar of key dates.
• The chapter program schedule for the year.
• A chapter calendar of key dates and program schedule for the year (chapter activities, HQ deadlines).
• An assessment of chapter performance relative to the previous year’s plan.

Plans are to be submitted annually to iisechapters@iise.org or your region vice president by Oct. 31. These plans should be submitted by the chapter president, president-elect, or jointly and should be sent electronically.
