Plan Update – April 2022

April 2, 2022 by Rob Baker

Since our last update, the WCPA has continued to reflect on how we interact with the communities of Worcester County. A part of that process has involved hiring a consultant to help us create a roadmap for incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion in our activities and membership.

The WCPA hired Sarah B. Lange to lead us through an Adaptive Planning process. It included a survey of all WCPA members, an in-person planning retreat in October 2021, and guidance for two sub-committees focused on Programming and Infrastructure.

Sarah shared several artifacts from the process.

While our time working with Sarah has ended, the work has only just begun. We will share some of the process’s output at our in-person annual meeting on April 3, 2022.
