OCMA Updates Strategic Roadmap: Member Feedback Needed
This fall, members of the OCMA Board and Committee Chairs met to update OCMA’s 2017 Strategic Plan with assistance from staff at The Ohio State University John Glenn College of Public Affairs. The historical origin of OCMA belies the fact that, today, professionalism in local government in Ohio is happening in a variety of governmental forms, by government employees who hold a range of titles, and by persons that are coming from a wider range of professional backgrounds than ever before.
Based on the first two strategic planning sessions, the Glenn College Project Team translated priorities identified by the OCMA Strategic Planning team into the following proposed goals and objectives:
- Grow membership by making membership as inclusive as possible.
- Expand professional development opportunities for members at all career stages.
- Support of the profession by promoting professional local government in Ohio.
