Strategic Planning Process and Continued Adaptive Management

After initial discussions in late 2019, RASCL conducted further analysis and stakeholder engagement throughout 2024. Feedback was gathered through members identifying our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT analysis), public surveys, and multiple member breakout sessions. This input helped identify core resilience and sustainability challenges facing Delawareans, along with key priorities and strategies to address them.

Ultimately, this information was synthesized into a plan that not only refined the scope and mission of the collaborative, but also outlined new structures and processes that will help RASCL better achieve its mission. This plan is a living document, designed to evolve in response to the needs of RASCL members and their communities. The plan’s structure and initiatives will evolve based on partner capacity and available resources. RASCL leadership will coordinate with members to periodically review progress, and make adjustments as needed to adaptively manage in a changing world to achieve RASCL’s mission and goals
