The NIRSA Board of Directors approved the 2024–2027 Strategic Framework after months of committed, forward-thinking and strategic visioning by the Strategic Framework Leadership Team. This team included the NIRSA Board of Directors, NIRSA Staff members, Member Network Chair Greg Durham, Foundation Board President Sophia Marshall, Foundation Board member Yvette Kell, NSC Board President Jill Krantz, and NSC Board Vice President Dave Peters. NIRSA membership provided invaluable input during this process.
The 2024–2027 Strategic Framework continues to iterate and build upon the plans that came before it. NIRSA’s mission, vision, and values remain unchanged. The language of NIRSA’s core value proposition was evolved to more clearly match NIRSA’s current and future programs and services.
This strategic framework also names foundational pillars that are essential and enduring to NIRSA’s work. The Shared Expectations for Belonging, crafted by the Climate Study Implementation Team and adopted by the NIRSA Board in 2023, is embedded in the framework. Providing member value and responsible stewardship of resources is also written into the framework.
As in the past, the framework delineates three strategic goals—a robust pipeline of supported and motivated professionals, advocacy, and wellbeing—and strategies for each. Read more about these in the strategic framework itself.
