Phase II

This year, strategic planning work  is organized around seven Areas of Inquiry, each having a dedicated committee of trustees, staff members, and Corporators pursuing their own research and initiative identification:

Strengthening Current Program
(Co-chairs: Judith Beswick and Lou Anne Collins)
This work will evaluate Tenacre’s current school programs and look for areas where the school might make an even greater commitment.
Ancillary Programs (Co-chairs: Libby Fitzgerald and Sue Kilbride)
This work will investigate a range of supplementary programs and services that Tenacre might consider offering as well as building out more of what we currently do.

New Directions (Co-chairs: Kennie Grogan and Jennifer Skoler)
This work will consider some “outside the box” ideas for Tenacre, helping ensure that we keep a creative, exploratory mindset throughout this effort.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (Co-chairs: Jaleesa Anselm and Kysha Harding) 
This work will evaluate the scope and pacing of Tenacre’s DEI efforts and will develop engagement plans for the broader Tenacre community.

Market Research and Strategic Communications (Co-chairs: Meg Burke and Beth Hamory)
This work will help us understand how Tenacre is perceived by important constituencies and will evaluate the communication of Tenacre’s value proposition and distinctive characteristics.

Financial Sustainability (Co-chairs: Jackie Christiano and Kurt Somerville):
This work will address key strategic issues regarding Tenacre’s financial model with a particular eye towards ensuring accessibility and maintaining the strong financial foundation we enjoy today.

Facilities (Co-chairs: Bill Foley and Adrian Riseborough) 
This work will establish both short and long term priorities for Tenacre’s campus.

Committees are co-chaired by Tenacre trustees and staff.
