Locality Annual Plan Due

Locality Annual Plan

The Locality’s Annual Plan sets out concrete goals for the year, helping to focus locality leadership on what is most important for the local mission. The RC director works with locality leadership to agree on one-year goals in two areas:

1) the care, development and growth of the locality, and

2) the evangelization plan of the locality. The process of working together toward the clear articulation of goals helps to build commitment and serves as a tool for providing follow-up and support.

The completed plan is submitted by the RC director to the TDC Delegate by June 15^th of each year. Some tips to consider in completing the plan:

• Most localities build their annual plan around the school year calendar: July to June.
• Moderate your expectations and scope of the plan to match the size and reality of the locality. The Locality Development Tool is helpful for this. For smaller localities, locality planning is not a major effort – yet remains of vital importance.
• There are twelve elements to consider in the overall care, development and growth of the locality. In any year, a locality may choose to focus on developing one or more of these areas, while simply maintaining, or not even addressing the others. It is helpful to clearly articulate these decisions as part of the planning process.
• Agree on how you will follow-up on the plan. It is very helpful to review progress against plan regularly with the leadership team as this practice builds mutual trust and accountability.
