For achieving the mission, RTC developed its 2017-2022 Strategic Plan based on the foundation of past success and through a comprehensive and inclusive planning process. The Strategic Plan Monitoring Report is an annual report that is distributed campus-wide and shared with Executive Cabinet and the Board of Trustees to provide them with an overview of RTC’s progress toward mission fulfillment. The four strategic goals outlined in the plan are what RTC intends to achieve throughout the life of the plan. Under the four strategic goals there are 16 strategic objectives. Priority activities are aligned to each objective as collaborative tasks by departments and committees. The four goals outlined in the strategic plan are as follows: • GOAL 1 Learning: RTC will be a learning community in which students, faculty, and staff all strive for excellence and growth • GOAL 2 Equity & Inclusion: RTC will foster an academic and work environment of equity, inclusion, and collaboration • GOAL 3 Community: RTC will engage the greater community through intentional partnerships and responsive programming • GOAL 4 Institutional Strength & Resilience: RTC will enhance institutional strength and resilience 34 strategic indicators have been established to monitor success toward strategic plan implementation. The strategic indicators are outlined in the scorecard on page 7-8. To assist with implementation of the plan, the College has broken down its five-year plan into annual strategic plans (i.e. Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5) . Annual Strategic Plan Each annual strategic plan articulates the College’s key areas of focus for that particular year and specifies priority activities to begin or complete in a given year. Unit/departments align their annual unit plans to the institutional priority activities to operationalize the institutional strategic plan. Units also specify measures of success for tracking progress toward completion of their stated goals and activities. Key Findings Key findings from the 2021-2022 Year Five Strategic Plan assessment are as follows: Overall • 13 out of 32 indicators "met the goal" or were "in progress of meeting the goal." • 2 indicators were not scored: (1) WA state OCIO Policy 188 compliance and (2) Four recommendations cleared during Year Seven accreditation visit in 2021.
