Master and Strategic Planning Task Force

Description:
Generally, we need help to understand what sustainability content should be integrated into our college master plans and strategic plans. We want to successfully integrate existing commitment frameworks (Governor’s Compact, ACUPCC, STARS) plus additional community college-specific sustainability content.

College administrators and sustainability staff need help with building internal campus support to ensure that the plan development process includes (and doesn’t prevent) the integration of the correct sustainability content.

Goal:
To identify and prioritize how the Network can support, assist and engage Illinois community colleges in the process of planning for sustainability within their campuses.
