Strategic Plan Dashboard

This 'dashboard' has been developed as a resource to quickly access the VLC's progress on its stated goals as part of the 2011 strategic planning process (2011-2015). Monitoring and reporting progress on long-range strategic goals included in the strategic plan is an essential component of the accountability process.
