Strategic Plan
STRATEGIC PLAN
2007 – 2010
The Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) was established in 1969 as a public/private partnership. This partnership is composed of institutions and individuals recognizing the importance of environmental education that emphasizes critical thinking, problem solving, and effective decision-making. In 1998, KACEE developed its first strategic plan. In June 2002, the accomplishments of that first plan were celebrated and KACEE’s second three-year plan was developed. In 2006, KACEE began working on a new three-year plan supporting current programs and developing new initiatives.
KACEE has made tremendous strides over the past few years by focusing on the targeted goals in the first and second strategic plans. A review of these accomplishments is located in Appendix A. Through the development of priority goals, strategies, and activities to accomplish those goals, KACEE continues to work toward its mission and vision. The development of a three-year plan will enable KACEE to keep its work timely and relevant by effectively addressing change and the evolving needs of conservation and environmental education in Kansas.
Through this plan, KACEE hopes to realize the following outcomes:
• Achieve consensus of KACEE Board, members, and staff as to KACEE’s goals.
• Continue and strengthen KACEE’s conservation and environmental education programs.
• Encourage innovation and use of new technologies and opportunities to reach KACEE’s goals.
• Enhance partnerships and collaboration.
• Stabilize funding to accomplish strategic plan goals.
• Enhance communication and outreach.
• Unify the environmental education community in Kansas.
• Increase environmental literacy among Kansans.
• Clarify KACEE’s role as the umbrella organization for conservation and environmental education in Kansas.
• Play a major role in fulfilling the first-ever Environmental Education Plan for Kansas.
KACEE’s Planning and Assessment Committee took the lead in initiating the development of this plan. Download the 2007-2010 Plan below:
