2010-2012 Strategic Plan
- Click here to read the plan!
In 2009, the Foundation’s Board of Directors worked with the University of Washington and City of Seattle to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the three Arboretum partners. It also focused on clarifying the roles our Board, volunteers, and staff. Following this, a strategic planning committee worked with our Board, partners, and stakeholders to craft a new strategic plan for the Foundation. The Board held a retreat in November 2009 to discuss the draft three-year plan, and then adopted the goals and strategies at its meeting later that month.
