What are the purposes it could fulfill?  \nb) What are your thoughts about how you would, as center administrators, initiate this process?  \nc) How would you explain and define the reason for this to your peers?  \nelements & Process  \nProcesses, including within higher education and nonprofits, typically include these steps:  \nGet Ready  \nArticulate Mission, Vision & Values  \nAssess Your Situation  \nAgree on Priorities  \nWrite the Plan  \nImplement the Plan  \nEvaluate  \nand Monitor the Plan  \nA great resource for facilitators, used successfully by many centers of community engagement for strategic planning, is the vision and planning kit from the Grove Institute (  [https://grovetools](https://grovetools)[inc.com/](inc.com/)  ). Foundation staff can facilitate processes using this approach.  \nThese are just a few of the available templates, which mirror the typical progression of activities in strategic planning, but use a visual and collaborative approach.  \nThis allows individual stakeholders to provide input that generates the sections of the plan (mission, values, history, context, vision, goals, objectives, action plan, timeline) .  \nkey stakeholders on our campus and  \ncommunity  \nConsider individuals at all levels, including:  \nCenter Staff and Faculty Student Leaders Key Institutional Leaders Departments (Chairs and Faculty)  \nIndividuals Involved in Assessment (Institutional Research)  \nOther Divisions (Student Affairs, Enrollment, Multicultural Life, Advancement, etc. )  \nFunders  \nStudents  \nAlumni  \nCommunity Partners  \nCommunity Leaders (Planners, Public Officials)  \nIDEAS FOR EFFECTIVE FACILITATORS  \nCharacteristics:  \ni.e ., Observant and sensitive to group dynamics  \nProvide a report back to the center administrator in a format that can be edited and used to complete planning.  \nPeople (List, Contact Info):  \nWHEN & MORE  \nA typical plan for a center can take between a few weeks to several months to create. This depends on whether you can carve out time for intensive meetings and work.
