FEZANA STRATEGIC PLAN 2011-2021

Submitted by bomip on Wed, 05/18/2011 - 21:54

The second ten year Strategic Plan for FEZANA plan is a continuation of the first ten year Strategic Plan that was written in 1997 (1997-2006). The vision and mission statement for the current plan remain the same; with the addition, major stakeholders and five new set of goals have been identified. These goals reflect the present and future needs and desires for the community in the next decade. The first ten year strategic plan outcomes are part of the document, and can be viewed entirely on the FEZANA website.

Background
Over the past two years, the Strategic Planning committee solicited input from the stakeholders of FEZANA member associations, corresponding members, standing committees, ad-hoc committees and interested Zarathushti individuals. Further input was solicited during the Houston Congress in an effort to maximize participation. It was imperative for the planning team to receive feedback, as the plan needs to be and should be a collective vision of most, if not all Zarathustis residing in North America. The responses received were taken into consideration as the plan was drafted. The past-Presidents of FEZANA were then invited to review and comment on the initial draft. The completed initial draft was distributed to all member associations, corresponding members, committee chairs prior to the AGM in Montreal for further discussion.

Strategic Planning session
Friday, April 22, 2011, FEZANA Annual General Meeting, Montreal
An interactive session beginning with a presentation, followed by a lively discussion on the second ten year plan was held on Friday. Member association presidents and committee chairs present were given the opportunity to give feedback on the presentation. The members during the AGM validated the proposed plan, with the intention of the strategic planning team reworking the plan with recommendations received during the session. The team, taking their feedback into consideration, revised the plan to accommodate suggestions/recommendations accordingly.
Next year FEZANA will be celebrating 25 years. With the support of FEZANA President, Bomi Patel, effort is underway to showcase FEZANA at the North American Congress to be held in New York in the summer of 2012.
