Strategic Planning Summit Considers Future of GBS
 Thirty-one representatives from the Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, staff, and student body convened March 14 at the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati Resource Center for GBS's 2008 Strategic Planning Summit. Participants served in six groups, each of which was charged with one of the following concerns: personnel development, financial advancement, academic development, facilities planning and management, growth and marketing, and student resources.
Each group considered various possible strategic initiatives related to its assigned area and gleaned from seven different sources, including the school's Environmental Scanning Group and the recent online Strategic Planning Survey. Summit groups reported five or six initiatives which they ranked as most important.
Now the Strategic Planning Committee will process information from the summit to determine which items should be included immediately in the GBS's new "Strategic Plan" and which may be placed later in the plan.
"The committee is grateful for the broad participation in planning, including this summit," according to Dr. Kenneth Farmer, Vice-President for Academic Affairs. "Continue praying that God will bless this process, enabling us to chart a course that will help GBS better fulfill its mission."
