The Design Task Force was created by action of the 2013 Annual Conference Session. It’s charge is to respond to a section of the Strategic Priorities that focus on “aligning organizational structures and staffing resources for the sake of the mission and vision” (section 3-B)
The Design Task Force prepared an interim “Report to the Fall 2014 Information Sharing and Gathering Meetings” that includes its philosophy, suggestions for staffing realignment, an overview of the task and process, summary of the meetings, and other resources.
