IPPS Reinvention 2014 

 

Wherever you look, nonprofits and charities are reinventing themselves for the 21st Century. IPPS, established in 1951, is no exception.  Last year the IPPS International Board initiated a strategic planning process. 

 

David Cliffe, the International Board Chairman, has written to you explaining the process so far and requesting your feedback.  You can read his letter here as well as a Strat Plan Summary, the Full Strat Plan and the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats).  You are encouraged to share your ideas and comments by sending an email to either of these addresses:  ideas@ipps.org or feedback@ipps.org
