Webinar: Strategic Planning for SMACNA Chapters: Charting a Course for Long-Term Success

Session will give participants the opportunity to learn more about the strategic planning process, how to get started, effectively collaborating with your Board and how to monitor progress.

Chapter Executives and their staff should join us for the upcoming webinar titled: Strategic Planning for SMACNA Chapters: Charting a Course for Long-Term Success, happening on October 16.

Strategic planning is a vital process that provides direction, aligns resources, and enhances a chapter’s ability to adapt in a constantly evolving environment and industry. It helps chapters clarify their mission, set clear goals, and prioritize initiatives to ensure they remain relevant, impactful, and sustainable.

Given the diversity of SMACNA Chapters, ranging in size, location, resources, and budget, this webinar will take a closer look at what strategic planning entails, how to get started, how to effectively collaborate with your Board, and how to monitor progress. It will also explore various strategic planning approaches, including the advantages and disadvantages of hiring an outside consultant vs. training chapter leadership and staff to conduct the process internally.
