The NASJE Board held its Midyear Meeting on March 2-3, expertly hosted by Jeff Schrade in Phoenix. Our two days together were extremely productive and there are many items we want to share with you. Today, our focus is on NASJE’s ongoing strategic planning process.
At a plenary session at the 2014 conference in Chicago, we explored NASJE’s vision and mission as an evolving organization of individuals with both shared and unique interests. The Board reviewed the feedback given in Chicago and is proposing a new mission and vision statement for your consideration.
Vision Statement
Advancing the administration of justice through excellence in judicial branch education.
Mission Statement
The National Association of State Judicial Educators (NASJE) advances the administration of justice by providing support, education and resources to educators who develop quality continuing education for judicial officers and judicial branch personnel.
The Board formed an ad hoc committee to focus on this work, and Lee Ann Barnhardt (ND) has agreed to serve as chair. We would like the strategic plan to be done by our Annual Conference in early October, so it is a relatively short-term (though important) commitment. Please send comments on the above vision and mission statements to Lee Ann via email no later than Friday, April 10. Lee Ann will share all feedback with the Board at our April 21 conference call to further inform our planning.
The Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) is looking for members! NASJE committees will each have a representative on the SPC, but all interested members are welcome to take part in this exciting process. You will hear more about this from your Regional Director in the weeks to come. Contact Lee Ann Barnhardt with questions or to volunteer for the committee.
