On March 31, 2025, HACIA’s Board and leadership team came together for an intensive all-day strategic planning session, a crucial event that takes place every three years. These meetings serve as a pivotal moment for assessing performance, setting new priorities, and ensuring that HACIA continues to grow and evolve in ways that best serve its members and the industry.
Strategic planning of this caliber requires dedication, insight, and collaboration. The Board members and leadership team—each leading their own businesses—set aside an entire day to engage in deep discussions about HACIA’s future. This level of commitment underscores their passion and determination to drive the organization forward. Additionally, by leveraging external consultants, HACIA gains valuable outside perspectives, ensuring a well-rounded approach to its strategic initiatives. This year, the session was facilitated by Cathi Hight of Hight Performance Group, a nationally recognized expert in strategic planning. Her guidance helped frame critical conversations, encourage innovative thinking, and steer the group toward a clear and actionable path forward.
Our blueprint for the next three years (2026-2028) will include Membership Engagement, Organizational Sustainability, and Advocacy for Our Members. These priorities will shape HACIA’s direction over the next three years, guiding efforts to enhance support for our members, strengthen our foundation, and amplify our voice in the industry. Through collaboration and thoughtful planning, the team has developed strategies to achieve these critical goals.
As we look ahead, it’s also a great time to reflect on our recent impact. Our 2024 Impact Report, set to be released soon, will highlight key accomplishments and progress made within the organization over the past year. Stay connected by signing up for our newsletter and following us on social media to be among the first to access the report when it launches.
HACIA’s strength lies in its commitment to progress, and through strategic planning, we ensure that our mission continues to evolve and create meaningful change for our members and the industry as a whole.
