Report Progress on Strategic Plan Objectives

It is time to update any progress made on the college’s strategic planning objectives. We’ll once again use the Strategic Planning Update Form to report progress or completion. A link to that form is found on the IRE SharePoint.

You can only report on tactics listed in the Strategic Planning Update Form, and the form contains tactics in place before December 2023. Several new projects were initiated within the last year. If your tactic is not listed, email that tactic to Tricia Kujawa and it will be added.

Please complete your update(s) before winter recess on Dec. 20.
