MRPA Strategic Planning Update

In 2011, MRPA welcomed a new commitment to refresh the Association’s programs, reputation and overall status as the premier trade association for Michigan’s park, recreation and leisure service professionals.

Association leadership was interested in a new vision for the organization, and needed a third-person agency to guide the strategic planning process. The Michigan Public Health Institute, MRPA’s neighbor and now active partner organization, answered the call. In October, Board Members and key stakeholders met at Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel to identify new priorities for MRPA.

The strategic planning process yielded a comprehensive three-year strategic plan with a new logic model, five main priorities and 13 measurable strategies for success.
