1. Overview

Strategic Plan

Strategic planning is important because it provides a sense of direction and outlines measurable goals. Strategic planning is a tool that is useful for guiding day-to-day decisions and for evaluating progress and changing approaches when moving forward.

Executive Summary

The primary focus of this Strategic Plan is to:

  • Capitalise and build and on the club’s long term and sustained success, and
  • Further develop the scope and capability of the club to provide more focus on player development and integration into the North-Eastern community working with schools and community groups. This objective is designed to
  • Grow the membership of the Club, and
  • Provide the financial stability and wherewithal for the Club to continue to grow over the years ahead, as we encourage more and more people in the area to take on the wonderful sport of hockey.
