Overview of the Strategic Plan
Create the third component of your Board Brief, an overview of your strategic plan.
The purpose of the overview is to give Board members a preview of the key changes you will make in order
to implement your plan, and to explain how these changes will impact the organization. This information
enables your Board to come to the meeting better prepared and to ask more informed questions. Your
overview must be clear and complete enough that it makes sense, but it should not be overly wordy
