The NVWIB conducts yearly strategic planning. Each Committee uses the strategic plan to drive their activities.

Each strategic planning cycle starts with a NVWIB Member Retreat – the retreat kicks off the environmental analysis required for strategic thinking. A Planning Team made up of NVWIB members meets to take the information and frame the strategic approach the NVWIB will take over a 2 or 3 year period.


The Planning Team meets over several months to complete a full strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis which includes an examination of the external environment, the organizational environment, and the regulatory environment.


We envision a vibrant business and workforce region that is globally competitive.

From the Strategic Plan January 2011 through December 2013
