planEICC Strategic Plan

The EICC Board has developed a draft strategic plan to guide activities through 2013. Members will be asked to participate in a survey during the first week of January that will be used to refine the plan. The input will help prioritize specific EICC initiatives such as eliminating conflict minerals, improving employee health and safety, reducing excessive overtime hours, reducing carbon emissions, improving water quality, and reducing e-waste.

 

Survey results will be used to help guide further discussion of the initiatives at the winter membership meeting scheduled for January 18-20.

 

Contact Brad Cameron for more information.
