2. Alamo College's Strategic Goals
The development of the ACCD strategic plan is based on an integrative, participatory model.
Communication among ACCD stakeholders leading to the update and dissemination of the strategic plan occurs using top-down and bottom-up approaches.
In the top-down approach, the Board of Trustees and the Chancellor determine the strategic goals and formulate the recommended strategies for the whole organization.
The bottom-up approach involves discussions by goal working groups, composed of college and District office faculty, staff, and administrators as well as students and community members, Goal working group strategic recommendations are passed to Vice Chancellors and college presidents, the ACCD Strategic Plan Oversight Committee, who, in turn, review recommendations and communicate them to the Chancellor for consideration.
All along this process, the voice of external stakeholders and environmental scanning findings are taken into consideration for sound decision-making.
The whole strategic planning process is permeated by the Achieving the Dream initiative and supported by the Baldrige performance excellence framework.
