Strategic Plan

Founded on principles of good governance, CASFAA develops and implements strategic plans to guide its priorities and actions.

To date, the association has developed three strategic plans; the first two iterations were based upon 3-year timeframes and were completed by previous boards, with the help of members of the association. The first plan, for 2015-2018, provided the association with context and direction and began the tradition of explicitly outlining its goals. It was extended for two years to allow for a transition period while the second plan was in development. The second plan, for 2020-2023, was built upon the foundation set in the first one and further established CASFAA as a leader in the Canadian post-secondary financial aid landscape.

In accordance with emerging best-practices, it was decided that the third and current plan be based on a 5-year timeframe to allow more time for implementation. Its development was greatly inspired by the first two plans and is based on a deep understanding of the emerging landscape and needs of the association and its members.

The strategic plan is accompanied by an annual action plan to ensure that we remain on track and deliver on the stated goals. The board will ensure that we move forward, implementing strategies and actions in a timely fashion and informing membership as we progress. There is also ample opportunity for members to actively participate in its advancement plan and ensure that our actions reflect the needs and ideals of the association.

We look forward to working together!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Perez, President
