STRATEGIC PLAN:

Oro Valley Historical Society is engaged in the strategic planning process to align the collective vision and actions, improve performance, increase professionalism and restate their dedication to community involvement. The Society wishes to address the changes, both internal and external, that influence our ability to meet Historical Society’s mission. Further, the Society seeks to lay the groundwork for a facility at the Steam Pump Ranch property, which offers a wide variety of specialized uses, including a historical museum; exhibit area for collections; Society office space, and meeting room.

The Society identified five critical issues:

  1. Administrative center and space
  2. Community awareness and involvement
  3. Collections care and visibility
  4. Organizational leadership, awareness and contribution
  5. Conservation and research
