The Lanesboro Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors began the steps toward a strategic plan beginning in January 2011 at the chamber’s annual meeting. We developed the major components of the plan partnering with Bill Geist from Zeitgeist Consulting at the 2011 board retreat. We continued to refine the plan during special board meetings throughout 2011. The results of that effort are this Strategic Plan document .
The purpose of this document is to establish strategic direction that will guide LACC board decisions over at least the next five years along with specific tasks that support the direction chosen. The board expects that this will be a living document that will evolve over time as we partner with other stakeholders in the community and learn from the initiatives set forth.
The chamber board needs all chamber members to embrace this plan, to partner with us, and offer feedback to evolve this plan in the coming years.
