Where Do We Go From Here?
The Vision and Action Plan were handed back to the community for implementation in January 2001. Since then the community has embraced the Vision and taken on its implementation. In the first "quarter" (five years), much progress has been made. However, much is yet to be done in the next 15 years.
There have been a number of major accomplishments -- some of which were planned, i.e. direct outgrowths of specific Vision 2020 Action Plans; others of which were "unplanned" as community members have accepted the challenge to implement the Vision and taken the initiative to address Vision elements in new and creative ways.
A distinctive "Vision 2020 mindset" has emerged which will be instrumental in continuing progress toward the Vision. This mindset is characterized by
- a spirit of collaboration and working together to solve problems and implement solutions
- a "can-do" attitude
- a forward-looking perspective, with the Vision as the goal
