DiverseForce on Board’s Cohort 14 attended their second virtual session on Strategic Planning last week with Program Instructor, Joe Moorman. During the session, participants explored and applied the key components of effective, equity-driven strategic planning. The “CAR” framework was centered in our discussions as a tool that can help ensure Clarity, Accountability, and Relevance are incorporated into the strategy work participants may engage in as board members.
