Strategic Plan

To ensure the continued development and growth of the Association, the ACCED-I Board of Directors met in Fort Collins, Colorado in October 2022 to develop and finalize new strategic goals for ACCED-I.

Strategic Focus Areas

After deliberation, the board established three areas of strategic focus moving forward

1. Strategic Focus Area: Support and Engage New, Experienced, and Veteran Professionals

Create and develop a plan to support and promote sustained engagement of new, experienced, and veteran professionals.
Key Objectives
  • Conduct member surveys targeted to specific professionals
  • Perform data analysis of the survey results and create an overall plan
  • Conduct focus groups of members to provide them with a personalized experience for sharing feedback
  • Review findings and create action items

2.Strategic Focus Area: Redefining Collegiate Conference and Events

For the future viability of the Collegiate Conferences and events industry and ACCED-I, paint a broad picture of the landscape, and establish a revised framework and best practices for ACCED-I members.
Key Objectives
Determine current scope of work for event and conference professionals and projections for the next 3-5 years
Analyze data for reporting
Establish and revise framework and best practice

3. Strategic Focus area: Thriving in the Face of Financial Challenges

Create an initiative/campaign to define and provide resources to address the current and future financial challenges facing higher education and ACCED-I.
Key Objectives
Use data collected from member surveys to  evaluate the type and professional level of members that will be left after the fall-out from COVID and the upcoming enrollment cliff.  Address their educational and professional development needs for ACCED-I to provide.
