Upcoming feedback sessions offer chance

to share thoughts on 2040 Strategic Vision

All UC ANR staff are encouraged to join the UC ANR 2040 Strategic Visioning Committee either in-person or over Zoom to provide feedback on the initial draft of the 2040 Strategic Vision and to network with colleagues.

It is crucial that UC ANR staff make their voices heard as the Strategic Vision is developed.

Here is what you can expect during these interactive sessions:

* Get an overview of the draft components that make up UC ANR’s 2040 Strategic Vision document – mission, vision, list of key challenges across California and correlated areas of focus for UC ANR research, Extension, and programming.

* Participate in an activity to prioritize the challenges facing California and the opportunities for UC ANR to address these challenges. 

* Break out in small groups by areas of focus to brainstorm specific ways in which UC ANR should engage with Californians to address identified challenges.

* Enjoy lunch and network with colleagues. 

Choose from these specific dates and locations. Space is limited so register now to ensure you can participate!

Please contact Kathryn Stein at kathryn.stein@ucop.edu with any questions about the feedback sessions.
