Strategic Planning Process

The process includes reviewing the LCCMR’s current strategic plan, reviewing 2019 strategic planning efforts, gathering and analyzing public input, and drafting a new strategic plan.

The Subcommittee gathered public input in the spring of 2024 through a public survey, a subject matter expert survey, and the following listening sessions:

• March 26 (virtual)
• April 26 (Saint Paul)
• May 3 (Brainerd)
• May 3 (Detroit Lakes)
• May 4 (Saint Cloud)

At Subcommittee meetings during the summer and fall of 2024, this public input was used to inform possible future ENRTF goals and strategies, potential changes to the proposal solicitation, review, and recommendation process, and other topics. The Subcommittee drafted a new strategic plan in the fall of 2024, which is currently available for public comment. The full Commission will consider public comments and approval of the strategic plan at its December 11, 2024 meeting.

Details about past and upcoming Subcommittee meetings, including meetings minutes and video from previous meetings, can be found on the LCCMR Meeting Schedule page.
