<h2><a name="purp">Purpose:</a></h2>
The purpose of SP I, conducted between 1998 and 2000 was to identify the Association’s assets and create a plan to maintain them as they were in 1998.  The purpose of SP II is to become proactive in determining what actions are needed or desired to address changing requirements of the Association and charting a course to achieving those actions.

<h2><a name="meth">Methodology:</a></h2>
The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC), with participation of the CPOA Board of Directors and representatives from all standing committees conducted a day-long workshop to develop Vision and Mission statements and a set of 13 Strategic Objectives.  The SPC identified committees and subcommittees to address each objective by creating an Action Plan.  The SPC will consolidate the action plans into a new Strategic Plan that will be presented to the Board for approval and execution.
