Impact Monterey County Network
2018-2021 Strategic Plan ​

“There is an awareness that to the extent that there is a network ‘center’ it is about being in service of and helping to connect the whole, as well as bring in the ‘periphery;’ there is an emphasis on contribution and creating value over deferring to credentials and the usual suspects; people lead with a spirit of openness; and there is an overall effort towards growing the pie, not just carving it up into smaller pieces.” 

VISION:

Together, a healthy, safe, and thriving Monterey County

MISSION:

- To provide an ‘umbrella’ under which collaboratives, programs, and institutions are aligning their work with the priority areas

- To work collaboratively to spotlight key strategic efforts and common outcomes across our communities
