Strategic Planning Direction Training

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

I am extremely disappointed that this training will have to be re-scheduled but the Council needs to be prepared when completing this training and Mr. Hancox does not feel he has enough information to do an adequate job.

The Strategic Planning sessions will be re-scheduled to mid-October.

The questionnaires sent out are of the utmost importance in this process and there were insufficient responses to allow Mr. Hancox to provide appropriate training and to begin to build the outline for strategic planning activities.

If you have not sent in your questionnaire, please do so as soon as possible. If you want to send them to me, I will compile them for Mr. Hancox or you can send them directly to him at 309david7838@gmail.com

This will close in 20 seconds
