The SDP Planning Committee met recently to review and approve the main recommendations of the SDP strategic plan as presented by the SDP Strategic Planning Committee. SDP agency representatives, Michael Rosenberg and Adonis Huggins, led the discussions, outlining the strategic planning journey that began over a year and a half ago.

The plan aims to address key priorities for the SDP network and is intended to improve its structure and effectiveness. The SDP strategic plan consists of 8 main recommendations. These recommendations have been shaped through multiple committee and stakeholder meetings throughout 2023 and 2024. Once approved by today's SDP Planning Committee, the strategic plan recommendations will be presented to the upcoming November 27th Stakeholders Table meeting for final approval. If consensus isn’t reached, Michael discussed options such as allowing for amendments, further deliberations in smaller groups, or sending unresolved items back to the Strategic Plan Committee for further development.
