Strategic Planning Committee

The need to look afresh at the aim and role of AMI was the main theme of the meeting of Directors of Training and Trainers in Ambleside, in August 2000. It was a topic that elicited fruitful contributions from the participants and resulted in the Executive Committee approving the establishment of an ad hoc Strategic Planning Committee. The task of the Committee is to take stock of how the Association's objectives are currently being implemented. It will also provide a platform for the membership to air its views. New initiatives and suggestions that fall within AMI's aims and objectives will be reviewed and submitted for consideration to the relevant AMI bodies. The Committee, however, will not be empowered to make commitments on behalf of AMI since its main role is to explore how best the work of AMI can be realised.

The Committee consists of five members:
Dr. Kay Baker, (Elementary Trainer - USA)
Dr. Silvia Dubovoy, (Primary Trainer - USA)
Ms Shannon Helfrich, (Primary Trainer - USA/Australia)
Mr. Monte Kenison, (Primary Trainer - USA)
Mrs. Lynne Lawrence, (Primary Trainer - UK)

Its mandate is to give thought and form to projects which support the vision and role of AMI:
- by identifying and prioritising the short-term goals
- by deciding how these goals can be achieved
- by outlining the steps to be taken
- by presenting a business plan

The Committee invites input to help it move forward in its task of formulating a strategic plan for the AMI of the future. If you have suggestions that would help to maintain, propagate and further the aims of AMI, please submit them via e-mail.

Please note that all responses are valued but cannot be individually acknowledged. The Committee looks forward to hearing from you.
