Strategic Planning Committee
Mission:
The Strategic Planning Committee exists to assist the FWEA Board in assuring the highest
effectiveness in implementation of the Association's Strategic Objectives.
It is important for a non-profit organization such as FWEA to have a Strategic Plan and to implement
strategic planning into the budgeting process in order for the organization to offer better value for
members and to continually attract new members. .

BUSINESS PLANNING PROCESS
Every year, the FWEA Strategic Planning Committee works with the FWEA Directors At Large to
create an annual budget for FWEA. Each FWEA chapter and committee participates in the process.
This planning process within FWEA is known as the Business Planning Process, as each committee and
chapter is required to write a business plan along with filling out a Business Planning Spreadsheet.
What is a Business Planning Spreadsheet?
A Business Planning Spreadsheet was developed and is maintained by the Strategic Planning
Committee. The spreadsheet is a tool designed to ensure that chapters’, committees’, and the
Association’s Strategic Plan is in alignment. The Business Planning Spreadsheet has become the official
annual budget for each chapter, committee, and the FWEA at large. Additionally, the Business Planning
Spreadsheet contains helpful Guidelines for its use.
