Striving for a unity of direction is characteristic of any good team, and the officer team has charted a direction for the 2009-2010 year with a set of State Chapter Goals.  The goals were developed to complement the structure of the Strategic Plan categories.  In developing your own local chapter's goals for the year, please include items that will help the state chapter achieve its goals for the year. 

We will update this page throughout the year to give members a look at the progress in achieving each of these goals. Below each goal will be an area labeled Status, which will be updated as we accomplish tasks that lead to the fulfillment of the goal. Please assist your state chapter and let us all prove that...
