The goal of creating this strategic plan was to dig deep and discover our true core values. In doing so, we’re better able to articulate not just what our mission is – but why. Clark College Foundation’s equity-centered strategic plan serves both as a reflection of where we currently find ourselves and where we’re headed in the future.
We will use this plan to guide our decisions in every facet.
