Background
In 2021, the New Jersey Council for the Humanities undertook a rigorous and participatory strategic planning process to guide its work over the next 3-5 years.
Working with an outside consultant, the organization sought the feedback of key stakeholder groups through surveys and listening sessions. This feedback directly informed the creation of a statement of organizational values, long-term strategies, and specific action steps.
In a show of accountability to our stakeholders and ourselves, we have created the resources below, which will track our progress in key areas as we progress through the plan. While stakeholder participation was key to the planning process, stakeholder engagement with the plan continues. We encourage you to engage with the plan and us. Use the form on this page to ask questions or provide comments on any aspect of the plan.
Year One Progress Report
We are taking the opportunity here to reflect on the ways that the strategic plan guided our work in 2022 and to consider our successes and challenges thus far in meeting the Strategic Goals laid out within that document; we have focused on providing general summary and some highlights here, rather than a comprehensive inventory of our work, but we welcome questions from anyone who would like additional details.
Ideas Welcome!
At NJCH, we always welcome questions and comments to spark discussion on advancing the humanities! Fill out the form below to get in touch about our strategic plan.
