GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Each objective should be written in precise terms that leave no room for
misinterpretation.
[Example: Within 12 months, we will team with the local health centre to
recruit at least 20 men and women for colorectal cancer screening.]

Your new strategic plan will help to guide you in the difficult

identify the activities that best fit with your vision, mission, goals,
and objectives.
Good luck!
