In its December 2009 meeting, NmTC's Board of Directors approved a new Strategic Plan to guide the Tribal Council's administration over the next year. The Strategic Plan builds on the success of previous plans, focusing on bringing certainty to long-term funding stability, providing increased governance tools to our nation's leaders, increasing our support of financial management initiatives and developing a strategy to improve our support in the areas of land management skill sets and overall communications and information sharing.
Specifically, the goals of the 2010-2011 Strategic Plan are:
Goal 1: Funding
The NmTC Board and staff will work collaboratively in order to address funding issues and challenges. The objectives of this goal are to increase funding levels, to deliver increased service to meet our communities' needs and to ensure stability in the funding stream.
Goal 2: Tools for Leaders
NmTC staff will work to develop a strategy and provide an update on tool development by the first quarter of 2010. The objectives of this goal are to develop an improved governance model for our member nations and to provide a detailed evaluation of the learned outcomes of our development strategy. Specifically, tools will be created in the following areas: new councillor orientation, clearly defined roles and responsibilities for elected leaders, governance policy development, administrative operational procedures development, leadership skill development, communication skills development, other workshops and enforcement option development.
Goal 3: Increased Role in Financial Management and Capacity Building
NmTC staff will strive to increase their role and existing support in the areas of financial management and capacity building. Staff are charged with playing a greater role in identifying financial tools that are useful for member nations and with providing additional financial management workshops.
Goal 4: Review Land Management and Information Sharing amongst Members
NmTC staff will review land management successes/skill sets and information sharing among its member nations. The objectives of this goal are to identify opportunities and resources that deal effectively with land management, to offer workshops to members that highlight the skills of other member nations and to open an effective dialogue among NmTC members about Land Management practices and procedures.
Goal 5: Communications Strategy
NmTC staff will develop and implement an effective communication plan in order to communicate the progress of the organization in achieving the goals set for it. Additionally, it will detail the progress and support mechanisms in place which support the five areas of service delivery proved to member nations. The objectives of this goal are to define a clear communications strategy and deliver a balanced message to NmTC members, leaders and our own Board of Directors. Specifically, staff are asked to identify interactive mechanisms such as digital media and video technologies which can bring together varied timelines and schedules, allow all member nations to network collectively and to offer additional options for participation at meetings and workshops.
Staff and the Executive Committee will be developing workplans in detail to evaluate the success of the organization in meeting and achieving these goals over the next couple of years.
