Ms. Marrin informed members this was the final draft of the MCDH Strategic Plan. She reviewed the three top priorities of the plan, reviewed goals and objectives for each of the priorities and discussed the importance of each priority and how staff and teams were involved overall. Ms. Adamson noted that there is a lot of emphasis on the workforce in retention, recruitment and recognition and trying diligently to get staff input and feedback. She also stated that she would like to see input from the Board on how often they would like updates and information on the progress of the plan.
Ms. Gaffney said it’s obvious a lot of work went into this plan and suggested sending out a short survey to all who were involved on how the process went for them, and what they would like to see in the future. Board members agreed this was a good idea.
Mr. Marcussen stated that it’s important to keep this in the forefront that this is serious. It’s to everyone’s advantage to offer their feedback.
Ms. Gaffney also added this may help with future funding. Ms. Adamson said the Department does have a grant and is aware of some other funding that will help get us started on our work. We will also be using some of the ARPA dollars for the Priority 3 goals.
