Strategic Planning Survey!

We are planning for the future and want to know what you think.

Between now and Thanksgiving, the MIHC Board, staff, and consultants Rachel Hodges and Robin O’Brien will be developing a new strategic plan to guide us over the next few years. We want to know what you love about MIHC, what you would like to see change, and your hopes and dreams for our building, organization, and community. Please share your thoughts through the short electronic survey linked  below  Please respond by Thursday, August 7, so we can take your thoughts into account during a Board retreat the weekend that follows.
This won’t be your only opportunity to provide input into MIHC’s strategic direction. In a couple of months, we’re going to host a community meeting at the Center to share our initial thoughts with you, answer your questions, and listen deeply to your feedback. Keep an eye out for an invitation via email and social media. If you have any questions, please email us at maineirish@mianeirish.com!
