In February, The CELA Executive Committee (EC) was invited to attend a strategic planning training session held at IMI Association Executives in Raleigh, NC. The CELA Executive Committee is currently working on writing assignments generated from this training session in developing a comprehensive strategic map and updating all the documents of The CELA. In the coming months, a member survey will be conducted and the Executive Committee will have another strategic planning session in late May. We look forward to an ambitious yet productive year ahead!
