Meeting of the Minds (2017 – 2020 Strategic Plan)
Background and Purpose
In 2016, under the spiritual leadership of Pastor William F. Sherman, the “Meeting of the Minds” was organized to assess the state of Mt Carmel and begin to develop strategic plans for its future development. On January 14, 2017, Dr. Barbara Morrison-Rodriguez (President of BMR Consulting, LLC) and Trenia Cox from the Juvenile Welfare Board (JWB) led Mt Carmel in a strategic planning session in which the vision, mission, values, SWOT analysis, goals, and work plans were developed. This living document includes the content from the strategic planning session with JWB as well as subsequent plans for further strategic development.
