DESCRIPTION


The agency seeks a qualified vendor to develop a strategic plan for a regional community network. The plan will establish the network’s purpose, governance structure, and future direction while creating a shared long-term vision for the agency.

The vendor will also provide administration and support for stakeholder working groups, develop a strategic vision and recommendations, and coordinate the planning process.

The work includes preparing a strategic engagement plan that defines project goals, desired outcomes, working group and management committee roles, and the engagement structure for the planning process. The vendor will also create a member-agency engagement roadmap covering timing, messaging, coordination, and sequencing for broader regional stakeholder engagement at key milestones.
