Goddard House
Strategic Plan 2020-2022
Together with our Board of Trustees, I am delighted to present the Goddard House 2020 – 2022 Strategic Plan. This plan is the product of a nine-month process led by our Board. A central focus of the planning effort was to solicit and listen to the diverse voices of our stakeholders. This was achieved through a listening campaign which involved nearly 130 individuals, including residents and family members, employees, community members and partners, leaders in the field of aging, and Board members. Our new Plan embraces ongoing inquiry, reflection and action with an eye toward the future and a focus on empowering older adults to thrive. The Plan is a living document, so in addition to identifying strategic directions, we maintain a flexible approach that allows us to take advantage of opportunities that arise during the execution of the plan.
