Infrastructure & Operations (Christine Ardern) - We will expand our pool
of volunteers to accomplish more results and develop a pool of candidates
for the Board of Trustees, Committees and Task Forces. We will parse the
Foundation’s administration into back-office and Executive Director roles
to enhance operational performance. We will establish a technology plan
and adapt user-friendly technology to provide the widest possible access
to needed information in a timely manner.
Scholarship (Pam Duane) - We will be an acknowledged source of financial
support for graduate professionals pursuing RIM-related degrees and for
RIM practitioners seeking college (undergraduate) degrees. We are
committed to “seeding” the profession and to helping RIM practitioners
advance in their careers.
Partnerships & Relationships (Sharon Alexander-Gooding) - We will
identify and actively pursue partnerships and relationships for the mutual
benefit of the partners, in order to develop and facilitate the distribution
of authoritative resources and provide additional funding. We will solidify
relationships to create value-added partnerships, including “passthroughs” for selected projects.
Revenue & Fundraising (Lisa Polisar) - We will triple our
revenue/fundraising annually through signature sponsorship
opportunities and grants. We will maintain a rolling roster of hot
topics/projects needing funding.
Marketing (Leigh Isaacs) - We will implement a marketing plan with a
clear message that is understood by our target audiences. We will
effectively leverage technology in our marketing efforts. We will ensure
that AIEF, ARMA and our other partners and organizations share
expectations and know where collaboration should occur.
Research (Marti Fischer) - We will have in place a research program that
addresses the needs of our defined audiences. This program will have
defined areas of research, assessment criteria, and delivery mechanisms.
