We’re designing a better structure today to build a better tomorrow.
REORGANIZATION
Over the past two years, we conducted a series of meetings with Regional and Affiliate leaders to discuss macro-level
trends that are having a direct impact to our organization and profession. We shared information about the competitive
analysis of our current landscape, discussed the strategic direction and priorities for the organization, and the future
evolution of a structural model to better align the Regional and Affiliate activities with National. Now we need your help!
Please utilize the following resources to gain a better understanding of the reorganization process and help us communicate changes to your local members.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
- To utilize best practice management principles in regions and networking communities
- To support and coordinate Regions and Regional leaders to ensure a strong, collaborative, and thriving regional network
- To build on existing resources, relationships, and practices
- To operationalize to support a robust and thriving National network of WOCN Regions and networking communities
