The NVWIB conducts yearly strategic planning. Each Committee uses the strategic plan to drive their activities.
Each strategic planning cycle starts with a NVWIB Member Retreat – the retreat kicks off the environmental analysis required for strategic thinking. A Planning Team made up of NVWIB members meets to take the information and frame the strategic approach the NVWIB will take over a 2 or 3 year period.
