STRATEGIC PLAN
JACKIE MITCHELL EDWARDS GABRIELA GALLEGOS
COO, The Paso del Norte Goup PDNG 2015 WORKING GROUP

24. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
The Paso del Norte Region is defined by the area made up of two countries,
three states and three major cities with a population of just under 3 million
people.
The Paso del Norte Group, with members coming from throughout the region,
is uniquely positioned to lead the way in transforming this region.

25. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
The Process
After hearing your responses from the Strategic Input Questionnaire,
Three Strategic Goals emerged:
• Goal a: Prioritize and Focus Core Activities
• Goal b: Strengthening Communication and Outreach to Engage
Members
• Goal c: Stabilize/ Diversify Funding Sources
25

26. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Findings for Strategic Goal a
Prioritizing & Focusing Core Activities
• 51.5% of respondents think that PDNG has the right number of topics
• 47.6% think that PDNG has too many topics and projects
• Task Forces and Strategic Initiatives are very valuable to Members but
many wanted to improve how they work
• Establish process to focus goals and activities
26

27. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Recommendations Adopted for Strategic Goal a
Prioritizing & Focusing Core Activities
• Initiatives and Task Forces will give an annual written self-evaluation
to the Civic Committee
• TF/SI Co-Chairs will meet with Civic Committee Co-Chairs and staff
• Self evaluation process will be supportive
• Civic Committee Co-Chairs will continue to name Co-Chairs for the
TFs and SIs
27

28. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
General Guidelines for Prioritizing &
Focusing Core Activities
Annual self evaluation and report
• Each TF and SI will establish Goals, Immediate Objectives and Strategies
• Identify and monitor Key Result Areas
• Set Time Frames for all of the above
• Each TF and SI can share their progress on the above measures annually.
28

29. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Findings for Strategic Goal b
Strengthening Communications & Outreach to
Engage Members
• Communication was considered our greatest weakness
• Strong satisfaction with the Newsletter and electronic communications
• 67% wants more information and updates on all Task Forces and Initia-
tives.
• Some felt that Communications do not flow to all members.
29

30. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Recommendations Adopted Regarding Comm.
• Continue the Newsletter and the Reminders
• Activate full, robust Intranet website available to our members

33. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Recommendations Adopted for Strategic Goal b
Strengthening Communications & Outreach to
Engage Members
Programs
• Continue the Distinguished Speakers Series
• Strengthen Breakfast Roundtables
• Quarterly New Member Orientations instead of monthly
• Quarterly “New Member Welcome” reception following Orientations
The message was - Fewer Events - Higher Quality
33

34. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Recommendations Adopted for Strategic Goal b
Strengthening Communications & Outreach to
Engage Members
Task Forces and Strategic Initiative Participation
• Committee Outreach Campaign for Existing Members
• New Members will be asked if they have a preference, if they have none,
they will be assigned to a Task Force or Initiative.
We should be Mission-Focused and not duplicate what other organizations cover.
34

35. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Findings for Strategic Goal c
Stabilize/Diversify Funding Sources
Background Findings on PDNG Funding
• PDN is funded, primarily by dues of members
• Funding for projects has been raised by members
• USAID funding was originally @ $1.5 million but was cut due to lack of
appropriations
• PDN received a total of $720,025 in 2010 and will receive @ $440,000
through the end of 2011 from CSG/USAID. PDN may not get additional
CSG/USAID funding
35

36. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Findings for Strategic Goal c
Stabilize/Diversify Funding Sources
Background Findings on PDNG Funding (continued)
• Our current funding mix will change dramatically when the CSG/
USAID no longer provides funding, as early as 2012, definitely, by 2013
• PDNG ran a deficit of $93,000 in 2009, PRIOR to CSG/USAID, so PDNG
may need an additional source of funding in addition to membership
dues
• We currently have a “reserve” of @ $250,000
36

37. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Findings for Strategic Goal c
Stabilize/Diversify Funding Sources
Considerations of Funding Models
• Government funds, are subject to disruption and uncertainty
• Funding from large Foundations, would require grant writing and
“strings” might still be attached
• Adding “Corporate Memberships” did not have any support
• Additional funding for projects did increase member participation
• Members raising funds gives ownership and buy-in
37

38. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Recommendations Adopted for Strategic Goal c
Stabilize/Diversify Funding Sources
• Core Operations and Staff will be covered by income from Member-
ship dues
• Funding for projects will be covered by Members raising necessary
resources
• PDNG will raise a limited, but permanent source of “non-dues” in-
come, from Sources within the Region
38

39. PDNG 2015
STRATEGIC PLAN
Members want...
• Better Communications
• Transparency
• Assistance
• Stable Funding
