It must define who it is, whom it serves and what its destination is. While this is easy to say and write, the process of creating a vision and a roadmap for achieving that vision takes time, hard work and much discussion. In December 2001, the ACTE Board of Directors embarked on a strategic planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. process that would create a roadmap that will enable them to enhance their influential leadership position in the career and technical education profession and to efficiently and effectively serve its members.

The plan will be tied directly into the annual budget and program of work and will be reviewed regularly by the Board. The plan will serve as an umbrella for the ACTE Regions and Divisions of ACTE and bring the entire profession together so that our resources are efficiently utilized. The ACTE Strategic Plan is a living document. Just as the world around us does not stand still, so too must this plan evolve as challenges and opportunities are placed before the association and the CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) The difference between the way two materials expand when heat is applied.
