UAF Alumni Strategic Plan
The UAF Alumni Association has been working since January 2021 to update our strategic
plan for 2021-2025. We started by asking our stakeholders to tell us what is working
and what needs some attention. We applied the balanced scorecard approach to build
a plan that we can refer to every time we make a decision about our work. Special
thanks to Jim Williams, who led us through the process. This document will be updated
regularly. Tell us what you think! uaf-alumni@alaska.edu.
