Join AVP Powers to discuss prioritizing UC ANR programs and services

Often UC ANR is called upon to both maintain traditional program areas while at the same time address emerging challenges for the state. These challenges are complex, often with no immediate solution, but unmet they have the potential for severe unintended consequences. UC ANR personnel respond to these growing needs with a finite amount of time and resources. The purpose of Goal 5 of the UC ANR Strategic Plan is to assess both current and future needs, strengths and impacts of our work, then align our efforts such that we are positioned to achieve the 2025 Strategic Vision.

Associate Vice President Wendy Powers will be holding five regional information sessions throughout California during late July and early August to talk about Goal 5 of ANR's Strategic Plan, which involves conducting a process to align programs and services with the 2025 Strategic Vision. Powers will be joined by Raj Kapur, the consultant and facilitator who will lead UC ANR through the process, Jan Corlett, and Vice Provost Mark Bell.

Each session will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will include lunch. From 10 a.m. to noon, the topic will be Goal 5 of the strategic plan, plans and approach being used, as well as current status of the work. Anyone wishing to stay after lunch and visit with the Goal 5 team is welcome to do so. There will not be an option to join the information sessions remotely, however a recorded webinar will be available to view in advance of the five in-person information sessions (details below).
