SWISS Strategic Plan Development Project

Between now and November of this year, the SWISS Regional Partnership will be collaboratively developing a strategic plan to identify actions elected county representatives and staff from Snohomish, Whatcom, Island, Skagit, and San Juan Counties can take to address issues around our three priority areas – broadband deployment, behavioral healthcare, and transportation. SWISS will be convening three subcommittees, one for each of the priority areas, comprised of elected county representatives, county staff, regional partners, and subject matter experts. Each subcommittee will meet virtually three times over the next four months and, under the facilitation of a consultant and staff from the Washington State Association of Counties, develop problem statements, identifying root causes, and create the strategic plan for their priority topic.
