Looking to the future, the Business Plan Working Group also reviewed and brainstormed a set of strategies to aid in the implementation of NCCNHR's mission.

December Business Planning Work Group MeetingNCCNHR's third Business Plan Working Group (BPWG) meeting was held on December 10, 2009, in Washington, DC. The purpose of the third meeting was to continue discussions of NCCNHR's governance structure and to move forward the business planning process. In keeping with the topic of governance, the BPWG discussed NCCNHR's current governance situation as well as the types of issues that similar organizations had encountered and the solutions that they employed. Also discussed were possible governance options for NCCNHR and the importance of a strong line of communication with NCCNHR's board as this process moves forward. BPWG members will contact each Board member to discuss specific governance issues and seek needed input. Board member input during the discussions will help move forward preparations needed for the January Board meeting. November Business Planning Work Group MeetingNCCNHR's second Business Planning Work Group (BPWG) meeting was held in Washington, DC, on November 5, 2009. The meeting focused on refining the roles of the BPWG, brainstorming key issues and discussing action steps during the planning process. The group discussed Board member involvement and communication procedures and brainstormed key issues such as funding and program prioritization and criteria. Also discussed were NCCNHR's definitions of its "social problem" and "vision statement." In this case, a social problem was defined as a concise description of the social problem that NCCNHR's members want the organization to solve. The vision statement asks the organization to envision what the world will look like many years in the future if the social issue is successfully addressed. As a follow up to this meeting, BPWG members will contact each Board member to discuss progress to-date in the business planning process and seek needed input on specific topics. The Board members' inputs will inform the planning process in subsequent BPWG meetings. NCCNHR Holds Its First Business Planning Work Group MeetingThe first step for strategic planning was to assemble a “Business Planning Work Group” (BPWG) and NCCNHR’S first BPWG meeting was held on October 8, 2009 in Washington DC! The principal goals of this first meeting were to introduce the Root Cause team (the consulting firm NCCNHR is working with to facilitate strategic planning) and the BPWG members, to provide an overview of the business planning process and methodology, and to initiate discussions on the key issues at hand. The main topics discussed included an overview of the business planning process and how to take action alongside this business planning process. Also discussed were the key issues facing long-term care and the social impact models that can best be utilized to address these issues.
