This workshop was presented by the Michigan State University Extension program.

 

Purpose: Determine the actions the DDA needs to take to insure we are wildly successful in the next 12-18 months.

 

As a group, we came up with goals to work on and ways to accomplish those goals.

 

Goals:

 

  • Identify Resources
  • Evaluation/Promotion of Events
  • Develop our Strategic Plan
  • Building our Brand
  • Grow Ellsworth Business/Housing
  • Generate Awareness
  • Become a Trail Town

 

Each of these goals are followed by our strategic points to achieve each goal.

 

See attached.

 

We were served a delicious dinner made by Jan Rasmussen.

 

Workshop ended with a renewed vigor to work on our goals with purpose.
