Strategic planning is a management tool that pro- vides direction for an orga- nization and helps build a shared vision with the com- munity and employees. The plan will identify organiza- tional priorities and establish goals and objectives to pri- oritize resources, allowing the District to focus its efforts on the most critical issues. The District has operated within the framework of a customer-centered strategic plan since 2004, with the last update in 2016. Over 85 per- cent of the identified goals in the current plan have been completed. Various groups of personnel within the fire department will gather on November 13 to complete the update process, which will be facilitated by George Dunkel from Special Districts Association of Oregon. Surveys have been sent to all members within the organiza- tion, partnering agencies, and community residents. Fire Chief Roger Johnson said, <Strategic planning for our organization is critical, and seeking input from the community and our partnering agencies is an important part of the process.= The survey will be avail- able until November 8 at www.sistersfire.com/2019/10/ fire-district-seeks-input-on- its-services/.
