DESCRIPTION
The issuing organization seeks a vendor to provide strategic planning services to design and facilitate a planning process from January 2027 through June 2027. The engagement will culminate in a board-approved three-year strategic plan intended to assess and determine the future direction of the council’s revenues, resources, and programs.
The selected firm will review existing council materials, including governance documents, programming history, financial information, and member communications. The consultant will be expected to frame key strategic questions for discussion, lead two to three facilitated working sessions with the strategic planning committee, and help stakeholders debate priorities, make directional choices, and reach decisions.
The final deliverable will be a concise written three-year strategic plan that identifies the council’s goals, the programming and activities needed to achieve them, and the resources required. The planning effort is also intended to support advocacy for the region within the national agricultural community and promote economic development opportunities, events, and related initiatives.
