Our Strategic Plan

In September of 2004, for the first time in the 20 year existence of the Friends, work began to develop a long range strategic plan. The Board of Directors, along with senior staff of Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum met and outlined the first draft of a Five-Year Strategic Plan. Over the ensuing months, this draft was sent out to major supporters and sponsors, key business, community and government leaders, as well as the Friends membership for their critique and input. In only nine short months, on May 14, 2005, at the Annual Meeting of the Friends, the final Five-Year Strategic Plan of the Friends of Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum was approved. To date, the Plan has been an important tool to give the direction needed to grow the organization, thus providing significant opportunities to add and improve the programs and events at Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum.
