An impactful strategic plan is informed by diverse perspectives.
In January and February 2025, in partnership with external facilitators from Apostrophe, Inclusion BC engaged its staff, Board Directors and membership in conversations to learn more about its priorities for the next five years. Using the Appreciative Inquiry approach to engagement, Inclusion BC spoke to nearly 70 people including:
- 39 member CEOs and Executive Directors (a hybrid session)
- 17 staff members from across the organization (an in-person session)
- 10 Inclusion BC Board Directors (one on one interviews)
In each conversation, participants were asked:
- What is working well at Inclusion BC?
- What are the opportunities for improvement or change? What are the gaps?
- What are the biggest hopes for the future of Inclusion BC and its impact?
We are excited to share this plan. We hope you read it and send us your thoughts. As we implement our new goals, we’ll continue to conversation with people and their families, member organizations, staff and Board Directors, community partners, and government to ensure that, in everything we do, we’re supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in ways that are most meaningful and impactful to them.
