The American Art Therapy Association (AATA) undertook an organization-wide strategic planning process in 2015 from which the Board of Directors (BOD) determined core priority areas and approved 3-year key performance goals. The AATA staff, committees, and working groups use this document to develop annual work plans.
The BOD, in following best practices of governance, reviews the plan regularly and adjusts goals accordingly. Based on plan progress as of June 2018, the BOD has updated the plan to add a core priority area for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion and has adjusted 3-year goals in all of the priority areas, including: Membership; Professional Identity; Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion; Public Awareness; Fiscal Sustainability; and Governance. The AATA’s Strategic Priorities are available on our public website, and members are encouraged to login to MyAATA to view the 3-Year Strategic Goals (under the header “Board Communications”).
