© International Vision Facilitation Committee Testimonials “The evening was perfect to give us creative ideas to…set…our goals and objectives.” “They came and did a ‘session’ with our club… helped us to ‘think out of the box’ and produce some visioning ideas through interactive brainstorming activities…” “It’s amazing that we came to consensus in such a short time from such a diverse group.”

© International Vision Facilitation Committee 7 Why Is A Vision Needed? Tradition of annual cycles breaks continuity, consistency and consensus. Clubs end up “re-inventing the wheel” instead of moving forward. Vision keeps forward motion on critical issues. A Club with Vision “sees” the reality of today with the possibilities of tomorrow.
