National Fire Heritage Center

Strategy

A Strategic Plan reflects the dynamic processes of planning and developing how an organization achieves its vision and its mission. The purpose of this plan, which focuses on the National Fire Heritage Center, is to document a shared, committed, and continuous approach to achieving the mission of preserving the perishable past of all aspects of the fire service and allied professional professions in the United States.

This Strategic Plan serves as a single source for collecting the results from a wide variety of planning and administrative processes and reflects input from numerous parties. The Strategic Plan is intended to provide a clear and concise overview of what the organization is attempting to achieve in terms of its goals and objectives, its strategic initiatives and the action plans that it wishes to implement. It can also be used to assess how successful the organization is in completing these activities.

There are many recognized and influential people both in the fire service and in the fire protection community that could be a tremendous asset in moving this plan forward at a faster pace than is possible with the current personnel. This plan was reviewed by the current Board of Directors, on October 8, 2007, with specific tasks assigned to officers and board members.

The final draft was distributed for comments in the 4th quarter of calendar year 2007 and later revised.
