Looking Ahead with Purpose

Last year, the National CASA/GAL Association introduced a new strategic framework to support the mission of nearly 1,000 CASA and GAL programs across the country—including ours here at Frontier CASA.

This framework focuses on strengthening our network through collaboration, shared learning, and innovative growth strategies. By building on our core values and historic strengths, we are better prepared to face challenges, grow sustainably, and create stronger outcomes for the children we serve.

At Frontier CASA, we’re proud to align with this national vision as we continue our local work in Gilliam and Wheeler Counties. We invite our community, volunteers, and supporters to join us in stepping boldly into the future—together.

National CASA Strategic Framework

Objectives

National CASA has embarked on many strategic planning exercises, held input sessions, conducted surveys and forums, and engaged a broad cross-section of the organization in this work.

We know that we can plan together; however, the question of how well all parts of the network align to achieve our vision and execute together still remains.

To ensure that planning efforts to-date are not lost and the additional work that is needed beyond the establishment of the framework is carried out, National CASA is committed to the following next steps:

  • Designing and aligning a structure to better support the state organizations—working with, in, and through the state organizations to provide technical assistance and support to the local programs;
  • Bolstering resources in fundraising, marketing and communications, public policy, planning, research, analysis and evaluation;
  • Establishing committees, taskforces and cross-functional teams to collectively address and plan the future needs and strategic direction of the network;
  • Identifying external relationships, partnerships and collaborations that expand our capabilities and result in greater impact and achievement of the mission and vision;
  • Embracing and fostering a customer-centric and mission-focused culture; and
  • Establishing a new business model for National CASA that adequately positions the organization to face current and future realities and ensure relevancy and long-term sustainability.
