Letter From The President

On behalf to the Groundwater Resources Association (GRA) Board of Directors, we are pleased to present our three-year Strategic Plan, ‘Expand, Diversify and Lead’ and 2021 Work Plan. The Board of Directors are comprised of a dedicated group of groundwater leaders and we believe in providing high-quality education, technical leadership and service for our members and others. The strategic plan reflects Director and GRA Leadership interviews, feedback and priorities identified through a series of virtual planning sessions held in late 2020 and includes reflections from our previous multiyear plan and progress. GRA successfully navigated the uncertainties of 2020 and is ready to refocus our organization on strategies and actions to ensure long-term success and build organization resilience. The launch of the 2021 – 2023 Strategic Plan and 2021 Work Plan builds on prior planning and organizational improvements while keeping our shared vision, Sustainable Groundwater for All and a common mission dedicated to resource management that protects and improves groundwater supply and quality through education and technical leadership to move us forward together. To achieve the full potential of this plan GRA leadership, committees, branches and membership must use the plan to help guide our work. The plan is a roadmap to improved resilience and success and is intended to be a dynamic and integrated effort. The development of this plan reinforced our belief in both the strength each member brings to GRA and the importance of partnership and collaboration with our affiliates. Our potential is limitless when we work together! Sincerely,

Abigail Madrone

GRA President
