Strategic Goals for 2004

Adpopted at the 2/15/04 Board Meeting

• Increase membership to 7,000 by year end.

• A coast-to-coast local groups network, with every single member who has consented to distribution of his address information assigned to a group (they can choose whether or not to take advantage).

• An automated member database with the ability of existing members to log in securely and edit their information, rendering most of Member Services' functions unneeded – by the end of April at the very latest.

• Pursue 501c3 status.

• Aggressively approach fundraising with a goal to obtain $90,000 before year end.

• Upon achieving financial targets, begin the search for a *paid* president, with salary based on experience and qualifications.

• Make publicity expenditures – to be used for advertising, partnerships and speaking engagements – a priority.
