The 2006 – 2007 League year was a year of planning as the JLNVB Board of Directors updated its strategic plan. The rolling three year strategic plan called “Mission Possible 2010” will provide a roadmap for the JLNVB to achieve its membership, community, finance, communication and administrative goals. The primary goals set forth by the councils are noted below. Going forward, each year the strategic plan will be updated to reflect the rolling plan for the next three years to ensure the JLNVB and the Board of Directors will continue to focus on the long-term strategic direction of the League.
