Membership of strategic planning group Bhoanced \ weu News Services Western Carolina Uni- versity Chancellor David O. Belcher has appointed a 36-member committee that will lead a strategic process designed to help guide the universitys direction and development over the next decade. . The group, called the 2020 Commission, includes from the representatives university community fac- _ ulty, staff and students and from the broader external community alumni,;do- | nors, friends, and business and community leaders. The committee is chaired by Melissa C. Wargo, WCU: assistant vice chancellor for institutional planning and ef- -fectiveness. Because they are drawn from all of the universitys major stakeholder groups, the members of the 2020 Commission each bring a unique set of perspectives, expertise and knowledge to the table, Wargo said. These individuals will play a vital role in ensuring that Western Carolinas new stra- tegic plan is based upon a shared vision of the, univer- sitys future. Belcher, in his Opening Assembly address on Aug. 17 to launch the 2011-12 academic year, announced development of a new strate- gic plan as a top priority ina series of initiatives designed to give the WCU commu- nity a sense of ownership in the universitys destiny. Although WCU has a stra- tegic plan, it is approaching the end of its shelf life and changing conditions, includ- ing cuts in state funding, make it necessary to revisit the plan, he said. The strategic planning process will enable the uni- versity to sharpen its. institu- tional focus by identifying what programs and activi- ties it will pursue, as well as those programs and activities it will not pursue, Belcher said, calling it an opportu- nity to choose strategically. v The 2020 Commission will hold its inaugural meet- ing Wednesday, Sept. 7. The nearly yearlong process will include numerous opportu- . nities for participation, in- cluding separate roundtable discussions for faculty, staff and, students, ongoing on- line solicitation of input, and open hearings on and off campus. The target is to have a plan ready for presentation to the Board of Trustees at its June 2012 meeting.
