District 5110 Goals for 2009-2010

GOALS

Goals are the directions to arrive at our vision/destination, and they must be achievable and serve as signposts along the way. When we reach each goal we know we are making progress. The clearer and more precise the goals are, the better our success of achieving them. Resetting goals along the way can be critical, even though it is easy to sit on our accomplishments!

We know from RI’s vision, mission, and core goals that our goals will be within the following areas:

  • Conflict prevention and/or peaceful resolution
  • Disease prevention and/or care
  • Sanitation and clean water
  • Reducing maternal and infant mortality
  • Education and literacy
