Vision

These Strategic Goals were carefully constructed through a board directed process.  The outcome includes a brief list of goals, metrics, and tactics to meet KCSAE Strategic Priorities.  While not specifically enumerated, ASAE’s Foresight categories were integrated throughout these goals.  The KCSAE Board of Directors will utilize this document during all regular business operations and organizational planning.
