MISSION STATEMENT

Professional Dimensions is a membership organization that promotes the professional and personal growth of women through social and business exchanges and through community participation. Four tenets of Professional Dimensions are:

Leadership — Providing direction and vision on issues affecting professional women.
Diversity — Committing to programs and membership representing a variety of professions, cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and perspectives.
Community — Affecting long-term change on critical issues facing our community through personal and monetary support.
Networking — Participating with Professional Dimensions members and other civic and professional groups in meetings, programs and special interest groups.

Each year the Professional Dimensions Board of Directors incorporates these tenets in the planning of activities and selection of issues of concern for the organization.

STRATEGIC PLANNING
The Professional Dimensions Board of Directors completed a new strategic plan in the spring of 2006 with input from members and business leaders through focus groups, surveys, interviews, and 2 day-long planning sessions.

IMPERATIVES
Using the findings from the surveys, focus groups and interviews, the board worked with a facilitator and developed 5 Strategic Imperatives to guide Professional Dimensions for the next 3-5 years. The imperatives grew out of a creative visioning process and focus on these key areas.
