Part of our Alberta Sport funding requirement is to develop a 3 to 5 year Strategic Plan. In simple terms, a Strategic Plan focuses on determining where we currently are, where we want to be and what we need to do different in order to get there.

On September 9, 2012, the DA Board of Directors held a planning workshop to begin this strategic planning process. The first step was to review and modify our Mission (why we exist), our Vision (what we aspire to be) and our Values (what we believe in).

Please take a few minutes to answer a brief three question survey on what you think about the new Mission, Vision and Values (link is at the end of this article).

Our New Mission:
(Is our organization’s purpose; what we do to achieve our vision, who we do it for, how and why we do it.)
