[Winona] Our Strategic Plan - Thank You for Your Input

[Steven Clift]

Thank you to the thousands of participants across our network of Issues Forums 
for participating in your forum.

Special thanks to the over 300 people who took the time to complete our 
strategic planning survey! Your input was extremely helpful.

The E-Democracy.Org Board is proud to share the final version of our 2007-09 
strategic plan from:

In summary, together with your help we will:

  * Dramatically expand local Issues Forum as part of our growing international 
network to at least 10 new communities

  * Increase the training and support we provide to local e-democracy committees

  * Help local communities recruit more participants and raise new and diverse 
voices from people of different backgrounds and political views

  * Continue and evaluate our election information and linking efforts

  * Support the development of open source tools that strengthen our own efforts 
and can be shared with those who share our goals

  * Get the next wave of democratic and citizen media innovations ready to share 
across our local democracy movement

  * Grow our volunteer network and raise the necessary funds to accomplish these 
exciting goals
