Strategic planning is an important step to determine where your land bank is going and how you will measure success. Developing a strategic plan that animates an organization, versus a strategic plan that merely sits on a shelf, however, can be a challenge. In this session, leaders of the Detroit Land Bank Authority and Tri-COG Land Bank will speak to their experience in the strategic planning process—when they knew they needed a strategic plan, the differences between an action plan and a strategic plan, and the steps to developing a transparent strategic planning process. 

Speakers: 

• Robert Linn, Director of Planning and Analysis, Detroit Land Bank Authority   

• An Lewis, Executive Director, Tri-COG Land Bank
