RE: GAZEL Strategic Planning 2009/2010

The GAZEL Board has decide to engage in a Strategic Planning Process for 2009 - 2010. We have several documents that will help facilitate that process. One document is the Strategic Plan that was done sevral years ago. In my opinion this document is still relevant, and with some updating we could  complete this process quickly. The second document is a PowerPoint that I dveloped for the GAZEL Strategic Planning session in 2006. It provides a quick overview of the GAZEL mission, objectives and activities. The third document is my suggestion for a Strategic Plan for 2009-2010 based upon the recent Board discussions about our plans and priorioties. You can download these documents from this Forum

The following information is an overview of GAZEL. This information is also contained in the attached documents
