History Center approves strategic plan for 2023-2027
Following a lengthy process that started in 2021, the History Center’s leadership approved a new strategic plan in October of 2022. The plan identified goals in five areas of focus: Diversity, Sustainability, Dynamic Programming, Community Connector and Collections. The immediate priority for the past 18 months has been to complete construction on the new museum. In addition, for each focus area, the plan identified several goals to guide staff’s work. Under Diversity, for example, the Center has hired a Community Historian who is tasked with building connections organizations and people to help gather and tell previously untold stories from underserved communities. For Community Connector, the Center has developed innovative school programs and grown relationships with teachers and schools.
