New NmTC Strategic Plan Adopted at December Meeting
Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council's board of directors developed and approved a new strategic plan at a meeting in December. The plan is meant to serve as a guide to the organization’s administration over the next several years.
The goals of the 2010-2011 Strategic Plan include:
Funding – The NmTC Board and staff will work to increase funding levels, to gain a commitment from INAC for long-term, stable funding through a multi-year agreement and, as a result, to deliver increased service to meet member communities' needs.
Tools for Leaders – The objectives of this goal are to develop an improved governance model for our member nations. Tools to be created include: new councillor orientation packages, roles and responsibilities for elected leaders, governance policy, administrative operational procedures, leadership skills and communication skills.
Increased Role in Financial Management and Capacity Building – Goals include identifying financial tools that are useful for member nations and providing additional financial management support, capacity and workshops.
Review Land Management and Information Sharing amongst Members – The objectives are to identify opportunities and resources that deal effectively with land management, to offer workshops that highlight the skills of other member nations and to open an effective dialogue among NmTC members about land management practices and procedures.
Communications Strategy – NmTC staff will define a clear communications strategy and deliver a balanced message to NmTC members, leaders and its own board of directors. They will identify interactive and technical mechanisms that can bring together varied timelines and schedules, allowing all member nations to network collectively.
Staff and the NmTC executive committee will be developing work plans to evaluate the success in meeting and achieving these goals over the next couple of years.
