Sustaining the East Coast Trail<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tuesday, July 16, 2013<\/b><\/p>\n

A Strategic Plan for 2013-2017<\/b>
\n<\/b>
\n<\/b>Through the strategic planning consultation process the East Coast Trail Association (ECTA) now has a refreshed vision, mission and values and goals and objectives to guide the work of the Association for the next five years.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Beginning in November 2012 and concluding at the end of April, the ECTA undertook the development of a Strategic Plan to guide decision making and clarify priorities for the next five years. Using a collaborative process of stakeholder engagement, the Strategic Planning Team (Chair – Ed Hayden, Geralyn Christmas and Randy Murphy) met with staff, board of directors, volunteers, tourism industry, local businesses and government. Members were engaged through an electronic survey and a special membership meeting where members were invited to provide feedback on the draft plan.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The result of this 6-month process is a five year plan, Sustaining the East Coast Trail: 2013-2017, which is now available on the East Coast Trail website. Identified in the plan are five strategic challenges critical to sustaining the trail for the future: communications, funding, trail management, volunteerism, and governance. With the issues now identified and goals and objectives outlined the next step is work plans – which are already being worked for year one – to identify the activities and tasks necessary to deliver on the goals and objectives.<\/span>
