This strategic plan articulates the states’ joint priorities for UMRBA during the period 2018-2022. It also confirms the Association’s mission, principles, functions, and governance. By design, the plan is not highly detailed or prescriptive. Rather, it is intended to provide a touchstone for the Association’s Board of Directors, committees, and staff. It outlines the central elements of UMRBA’s future focus, while preserving the flexibility and responsiveness that have been essential to the organization’s past success. As a living document, the plan will guide annual work plan development and execution, while simultaneously accommodating emerging trends and issues and evolving state needs. Reflecting UMRBA’s commitment to communication and collaboration, the plan is also intended to inform the Association’s many partners about the states’ joint water resource priorities.
