As one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, our organization's strategic plan is an essential tool to ensure we can respond to local and regional challenges in a forward-thinking and dynamic way.
In 2021, CPRC's Board of Delegates unanimously adopted the first-ever Central Pines Regional Council Strategic Framework to guide our work for the next few years. The framework outlined a new mission, vision, and organizational priorities, formalized six strategic focus areas of work, and enhanced core values to guide CPRC employees.

How Was the Framework Developed?
