The SETDA strategic plan is intended to be a concise statement of our direction and of the value for state and partner engagement. It reaffirms the commitment by SETDA to being the national leadership organization supporting all states to advance education through technology policy and practice. Via the approach detailed herein, we intend to sharpen the focus of our work, to do so collaboratively with others who share our goals, and - in so doing - to make a marked difference in education.

While this strategic plan document was a year in the making, involving multiple opportunities for input and engagement from SETDA staff, members and strategic partners, the creation of the plan itself is not the end goal. Rather, the SETDA Board of Directors and staff will use this document as a compass to reorient our work and activities, our fundraising and spending plans, and our governance. We will continue to seek out input and comment on how best to realize our mission and accomplish our goals and will put into place accountability metrics so as to report on our progress to the membership annually. And, at the conclusion of the next three years, we commit to evaluating this plan and our progress, to systematically reviewing internal and external changes to the association, and to engaging the membership and our partners in an inclusive process to revise and update the plan. In releasing this plan, SETDA is declaring to the states, to our strategic partners, to policymakers and to the wider education field that it is our intent to lead, inspire, and empower the education community to leverage technology for learning. We invite you to join us on our journey as we chart a better future for education, faster.
