Some of these needs are met through today's community success stories -- of which there are many! In our efforts to improve consistency and equality of support and experiences across communities, we're not losing sight of those that are working; instead, we're building on the foundation of their successes...and planning to go a step further to provide even more to those communities to enhance their successes. For communities that are struggling, the support we will provide is designed to help, not hinder, their progress toward providing as much member value as possible.
The work to meet all of these needs is complex... As we change our community support model to be more consistent, many changes are required -- in the financial, governance, and technology (infrastructure) areas, as well as the expected community policy changes.
We have a high-level roadmap that we're following, outlining what we need to do at a very high level similar to the bulleted items, above. We don't have all the answers. We still need your input and your help. Contact us at transform@stc.org to contribute to the transformation.
