Three-Year Strategic Plan (2020—2022)
They say, “Failure to plan, is planning to fail,” and NMEDA is not in the business of failing! For this reason, the NMEDA board, in conjunction with staff, developed the following three-year strategic plan.
On June 7, 2019, NMEDA staff and board members gathered in Tampa, FL to develop a three-year strategic plan. Facilitated by Bob Harris, CAE, of Harris Management Group, the meeting resulted in four goals with 17 supporting strategies. Following the meeting, NMEDA staff developed SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Timely) action plans for each strategy. On July 18, 2019 the NMEDA Board of Directors approved the plan.
