Long-Range Property Planning: Volunteers Needed!

As part of our ongoing Strategic Learning process, we’ve discovered that the long-term vitality and success of Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains lies in our commitment to deliver a fun, multi-faceted Leadership Experience that empowers and connects girls.
We recently kicked off a long-range property planning study to ensure that we develop and operate sites and facilities that best support the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Using resources wisely, we also have to be able to fund and maintain these sites.
Our “customers” are girls, so we have to respond to their program needs and wants. These programming decisions will drive the distribution of our resources, including decisions about all of our properties.
Our Long-Range Property Planning (LRPP) committee is a representative cross-section of volunteers, staff, board members and community members. The committee, broken into three task groups for Market Research, Program Research and Property Research, is charged with:

Learning about what assets and resources we have
Focusing on what girls want/need from a programming standpoint
Aligning what we will do and how we will manage our properties/capital budget
And then planning the execution with a 3-year action plan to achieve our desired Site Master Plan.

The LRPP, to be completed over the next year, will reflect the collective input of our stakeholders (girls, volunteers, parents, donors, community partners, etc.) and the community.
To volunteer on a task group, please send an e-mail to mzienkiewicz@girlscoutsgwm.org, with “Long-Range Property Planning” in the subject line. Include your full name, daytime phone number, any relevant experience, which task group, and your town and state. The deadline for applying is July 15.

Special Note: Camp Wapanacki in Hardwick, VT will not be open for troop camping or summer camp in 2010. Several forums have been held to inform the membership on the problems the council faces with this property.
