In Outcomes 2002, our previous Plan of Work, we dealt with seven directed initiatives that served as the basis of our programming. While these initiatives were germane, they had a proclivity to be exclusive. Changing demographics of Maryland, the need to be more responsive to all Marylanders, and an increasing mandate to truly partner with other organizations, civic groups, agencies, and institutions mandated that we become more inclusive to all our clientele. Thus we re-examined and redefined our Mission Statement from our 2002 document to emphasize three major areas that impact all of Maryland. In doing so, we identified three areas as focus themes: Quality of Life, Economic Prosperity, and Environmental Stewardship. These three themes direct what we do as an education organization. They also have expected outcomes that transcend each theme and facilitate cross-discipline, self-directed team efforts by our faculty. Concomitantly, we found ourselves lacking in certain areas of necessary expertise, program delivery, self-continuing education, and organizational process and infrastructure that potentially inhibit achieving our new Mission and Vision. To better prepare to meet the challenges of serving all of Maryland within our focus themes, we identified two internal themes that will help us better prepare to accomplish what we do: Professional Development and Organizational Development.
