The CAR 2023-27 Strategic Plan sets out the Association's goals and objectives and will help to guide the work of the CAR. This plan stems from a session with our Board of Directors in September 2022 in Halifax. Consultations with the Board and a member survey were the driving forces behind the development of this plan.
Vision 2028 charts the path forward for the CAR over the next five years, reflecting a renewed vision: “The Voice for Medical Imaging Excellence.” This plan encompasses the following components:
- Pillars of Success – The core focus of our Association’s future success
- Strategic Intent – Clarifying the meaning of our Pillars of Success
- Strategic Objectives – Our Association’s definition of success – the outcomes we intend to achieve
- Key Initiatives – Identifying the major pieces of work that are required within each Pillar of Success to achieve the strategic objectives.
The five Pillars of Success outline the areas in which the CAR expects to see strategic growth and the initiatives that will take us there.
