DuraSpace recently completed a Strategic Plan that outlines opportunities and priorities for the next two calendar years, and identifies resources needed to realize these goals. The plan is the result of internal assessment and external review and is a critical analysis of DuraSpace, its current programs, services, and activities.
As our members you are key partners in advancing our shared goals I invite you to review the Strategic Plan and to share your feedback you have with me <dkurtz@duraspace.org>.
