Strategic Planning for Genealogy Societies

Learn tools & tactics to develop a strategic plan.

With the new year approaching, short- and long-range goals are at the forefront of many society board meetings. Let's face it: everyone has an opinion and some are louder than others. Sometimes it's enough to put the entire board at each other's throats or bring board members to tears.

From member surveys to hiring an outside consultant, guest Kenyatta D. Berry, past President of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG), explains some of the tools and tactics societies can utilize to get past all the personal feelings and the "we've always done it that way" attitude in order to develop a realistic strategic plan that board members can agree upon.
