In 2011, the OKAPA Chapter received a
grant from APA to conduct a Chapter Strategic Planning effort. The focal
point of the effort will produce a policy
framework and action plan for board and organization development, chapter
operations, and program planning.
This project will enable the OKAPA leadership to:
Establish the skills and procedures to more
effectively meet CPC’s Minimum Chapter Performance Criteria;
Align new and existing OKAPA programs with
the APA Development Plan; and
Develop a growth plan and relationships to
ensure long-term program delivery and financial self-sufficiency
