GRC Strategic Plan

Strategic Plan (PDF)

The 2019 GRC Strategic Plan has been assembled through a comprehensive assessment of planning documents drafted by the organization since 2016.

The 2019 plan updates and replaces the previous Strategic Plan published in October 2016 and has been authorized by a Motion of the Board of Directors at the February 10, 2019, meeting, Stanford University, California, USA.

The plan provides a framework by which the staff of the GRC will execute operations, provides guidance on how the GRC will be managed, and provides a vision for the future direction of the organization.

Our Strategic Plan is a living document and will be reviewed and updated at the end of 2019. Any of our members can provide input to the direction of the organization by contacting a Board Member, the Executive Director, or a member of Staff.

We also welcome and appreciate all offers of help from volunteers. Our volunteers are the backbone of our organization and enable the GRC and our geothermal community to be a success. Please contact us.
