The Future Direction Committee (FDC) is a committee of the AgGateway Board of Directors, that is, it is created and reports directly to the AgGateway BOD.
The purpose of the FDC is three-fold:
- periodically review the AgGateway vision and mission to validate that they are still appropriate and valid for the organization,
- review the current and future state of agriculture to identify challenges and opportunities for AgGateway,
- review and revise as needed the current strategic plan and extend the plan into future years.
The FDC is reformed and reconvened every 2-3 years and usually completes its work in 4-6 months at which time it is adjourned until needed again.
The deliverable from the FDC is an actionable three-year strategic plan recommendation to AgGateway members through their councils.
