Strategic Plan

TEPSA 2017-2020 Strategic Growth Plan

As an essential component of its continued health and sustainability, TEPSA undertook a strategic growth planning process to chart its course for the next three years. Four strategic goals will guide the Association’s actions:

  • Advocacy
  • Membership
  • Leadership
  • Organizational Effectiveness

A touchstone of the planning process and subsequent action plan is TEPSA’s mission as a diverse, supportive community of professional leaders, learning with and from each other, committed to providing quality education for all Texas PK-8 students.

Goal 1: Advocacy

Empower PreK–8 principals and supervisors to be a strong voice for all Texas children.

Strategies

  • Expand TEPSA’s efforts to educate, engage and mobilize principals and supervisors in its advocacy activities.
  • Increase TEPSA’s visibility and interaction with policymakers, their staffs, and education influencers.
  • Continue existing coalitions and partnerships, and identify new strategic alliances that can help advance shared priorities.

Goal 2: Membership

Be the trusted network for leadership development and support for all PreK–8 principals and supervisors.

Strategies

  • Continue to deliver relevant, “best-of-class” professional development for aspiring principals, principals and supervisors, and increase utilization among members and nonmembers.
  • Define and implement a comprehensive model for facilitating peer solution-sharing, communication and networking.
  • Deliver a personalized member experience.

Goal 3: Leadership

Create structures and systems that increase meaningful engagement in TEPSA leadership.

Strategies

  • Examine and update board/governance structures, requirements and processes to increase member involvement and address regional challenges and changes in the field.
  • Review and revise bylaws, as needed.

Goal 4: Organizational Effectiveness

Invest in growth that aligns with strategic priorities while ensuring financial and organizational integrity.

Strategies

  • Proactively to continue identifying, evaluating and pursuing revenue-generating growth opportunities that address unmet needs and/or leverage TEPSA’s current programming and market position.
  • Execute a targeted membership growth and retention plan.
  • Develop and implement a multi-year plan to expand TEPSA’s capacity to deliver an optimal member experience and meet the association’s strategic goals.
