SUMMARY:
Since 2016, the Board has conducted an annual strategic planning session to develop goals and objectives for the Board's focus, engagement, and monitoring for the fiscal year. The purpose of the Board of Directors Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Work Plan Session is to discuss pertinent issues and provide strategic direction to develop the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (FY26) Board Work Plan.
The meeting will be facilitated by Roger Jackson, President and CEO of RJ Jackson Company, a consulting firm that specializes in executive coaching, board development, and strategic planning. Mr. Jackson facilitated the Board's annual Strategic Planning Session as well as a Board Governance Training in 2024, and he most recently facilitated the Board CIP Workshop on August 29, 2025.
In preparation for the Work Plan Session, Mr. Jackson administered an online survey of the Board of Directors to assess accomplishments from FY25, the continued impact of threats, challenges, and areas of improvement identified from the 2025 Board Survey, and how the Board feels we deliver on Santa Clara Valley Water District's Mission, Vision, and Values.
Staff have also prepared recommended changes to the FY26 Board Work Plan for the Board's consideration (Attachment 1).
