The Board of Governors’ new Strategic Plan is driven by goals and associated metrics that stake out where the System is headed; The Board’s Annual Accountability Report provides yearly tracking for how the System is progressing toward its goals; Institutional Work Plans connect the two and create an opportunity for greater dialogue relative to how each institution contributes to the System’s overall vision.
