It is a regional, values-based vision process that is data supported (but not data driven), and which takes a look at our valley from a holistic viewpoint.
The idea is partly related to the America's Best Communities contest sponsored by Frontier Communications. We were selected as a top 50 community and were awarded $50,000 to compete in the next round of the competition, which eventually will have a grand prize of $3 million. An information sharing group of Wenatchee Valley leaders had already started to meet about strategic planning. The contest launched the group into a more formal planning process. A big THANK YOU to the many community-minded people behind this effort.
Three critical areas of focus have been developed: Education and workforce development, alleviating poverty, and develop regional strategies.
Sunrise Rotary members filled out surveys with their opinions about what they value about the valley, what is changing, and what is their vision for its future.
Some of us made it look like hard work, but it was really not that bad. If you missed the meeting, you can have input at --
