OWEB Partners:

We are excited to invite you to join the OWEB Board for a series of listening sessions (including a virtual one!) as the board kicks off the first phase of their year-long strategic planning process. The listening sessions are one of a number of opportunities the board will provide over the coming year to solicit your ideas as they develop their plan. Other opportunities will be provided at board meetings, through surveys, webinars, and other approaches.

During the listening sessions, we will ask you to help the board identify strategies, values, beliefs, and assumptions that inform the work we do on behalf of all Oregonians. We will also ask for your input on actions, with an eye toward new frontiers and innovative approaches the board should consider in their next plan. We will ask you to identify what you see as big issues around conservation and restoration in Oregon and to help us identify how OWEB’s investments can help address those issues.

OWEB Strategic Plan Background and Approach

The Board completed their last Strategic Plan in 2010, and it was followed in 2013 by the implementation of the Long-Term Investment Strategy.

For this process, the board will be focusing at the strategic plan level and will formalize connections between the new strategic plan and the Long-Term Investment Strategy. The strategic plan will be complete in 2018.
