- Revisit our vision and purpose to ensure that it is still relevant to the association to support our members
- Discuss what we do well and what we need to do better as an association to support our members and help them in these turbulent economic times
- Define our core values–what’s most important to us in how we treat our members and each other
- Perform a SWOT exercise where we will identify our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats as an industry and an association
- Clarify our strategic priorities to help overcome those challenges
- Determine the critical success factors and what success will look like for MTIA if we accomplish our goals
- Identify new ways to make sure we execute the above and hold each other accountable
