Dear Mayor Partyka:
As a Community Trustee we want you to know.... The Seminole Vision momentum remains strong.
In October 1996, a divergent group of 100 Community Stakeholders convened at the first Seminole Vision
conference, This initiative was designed to strengthen our Community, shape our future, and establish
a norm of innovation, dialogue, and collaborative planning. Since that time, . .
. A comprehensive conference report has been published and distributed,
. A new ~xecutive Board of strong Community leaders has been formed (attached) that
has committed to carry the process forward.
. The draft vision statement from the October conference has been put into a final form:
The Seminole Vision
. . . an innovative and diverse community
dedicated to excellence, prosperity,
and quality of life for all.
. The Board has adopted an aggressive time line which includes
'.I Strategic Planning Retreat for the Executive Board
.I Strategic Planning Retreats for each of the Stateholder Groups
.I . Regular meetings/work sessions for. the Board and all Stateholder Groups
.I Annual Seminole Vision conference (November)
The Executive Board also has adopted a budget and entrusted the Greater Seminole County Chamber Of
Commerce to continue to administer the process. Inner Change Facilitators has been retained to ,design
and facilitate a process that will ensure that the goals set will be realized. .
