C101 Strategic Plan

Council of 101 Strategic Plan, 2024-2029 

Mission:  The Council of 101 is an organization of women who promote the visual arts in our community through fundraising, education, and special events to benefit the Orlando Museum of Art.

 

Goal 1: The Council of 101 will be a major fundraiser for the Orlando Museum of Art, in support of education, visual arts and day-to-day operations.

· Initiative:  Increase the attendance by 10% annually at both Festival of Trees and Art in Bloom with a wide variety of activities and experiences that will draw the Orlando community to the Orlando Museum of Art 

· Initiative:  Expand Community outreach to boost attendance

 

Goal 2: The Council of 101 will be known as the premier women’s organization supporting the visual arts in the Greater Orlando area.  

· Initiative: Improve retention of members (ideas: survey what members want, encourage sponsors and provisional classes to stay in touch)

· Initiative: Formalize a way for event attendees to get into the recruitment loop (Easel with QR code, business cards at check-in desk)

· Initiative: Focus on women that are representative of the Central Florida community 

Goal 3: The Council of 101 will be a well-run organization, striving to be up to date on creative designs as well as technology to better support our fundraising efforts.

· Initiative: Gather feedback from fundraiser attendees in order to come up with new and exciting offerings (surveys, etc.)

· Initiative: Streamline technology: ticketing (Shopify, Eventbrite), sponsorship (POWR), etc. 

· Initiative: Revamp the community volunteer program to recruit and retain those volunteers so that it is valuable for them and Council of 101

 

Goal 4: The Council of 101 will deliver a positive membership experience creating a sense of community and belonging for all

· Initiative: improve the member volunteer experience - ideas include having specific jobs/tasks for each shift, easier sign-ups, training for different roles/profit centers, more information about all the opportunities available (provisionals and first year actives). 

· Initiative: Reminders and/or training for committee chairs: it is important to get to know one another, have everyone understand the work, assign tasks so everyone feels valued and valuable. More education re: budget, profit, etc.  

· Initiative: Socials, ways to know one another outside of volunteering.
