The Citxw Nlaka’pamux Assembly (CNA) Strategic Plan is the document prepared by the Board of Directors to direct its operations on behalf of the Participating nłeʔképmx Bands. It is also used as a communication document for engagement between the CNA, the Participating Bands, and their members on the priorities, objectives, goals, and measures needed to respond effectively to the needs of the communities it serves. This Strategic Plan gives direction and substance to the work of staff members, provides a framework for continuous improvement and establishes the foundation for the operations and management of the CNA. CNA staff therefore prepare Work Plans for each department or program guided by the strategic plan. Though the Strategic Plan carries a Vision, it provides firm direction for the organization. The CNA will measure the past year’s accomplishments in the form of an Annual Report provided to the Participating Bands.
