New Strategic Plan Clarifies Values, Decision-making, and Priorities for 2025-2029

June 23, 2025 - Today CCE's Board of Directors adopted a new Strategic Plan to guide the next five years. This ambitious plan is designed to help us operate with improved clarity, focus, and purpose in three ways:

• First, it re-establishes our Mission and Vision and establishes new Values so that we can telegraph our “what,” “why,” and “how” to the world and have a shared North Star for our staff and leaders.
• Second, it recommends more inclusive and clarified decision-making processes, developed specifically around CCE’s unique structure.
• Third, it sets programmatic and organizational Pillars that clarify and hone our priority areas of focus for the next five years.

We expect the next five years will be a challenging time for the District of Columbia and nonprofit organizations. CCE will need all our Board leaders, staff, funders, and community partners working together to protect D.C. residents and our legal systems, while still striving for the change we want to see. With the Vision, Values, and priorities laid out in the 2025-29 Strategic Plan, CCE will be well-positioned to address the present challenges and approach our fifth decade of service to the residents of the District as an even stronger and more impactful organization.
