This is a great place to start. But remember that the goals need to be addresses to find the mission statement. The mission statement shouldn't be changed to accommodate the accomplishments.

To get anywhere, we have to know where we're coming from. It is absolutely possible that the club is completely fulfilling it's mission and meeting all of its goals! If that is so, and the club is not meeting the needs of the membership, then; maybe we need to change our mission. It is not unheard of. Successful organizations modify their Mission Statements as times and needs change. Imagine, if you will, a modern fire department with items mentioned in it's mission statement concerning fresh hay for the horses and no mention of hazardous materials or emergency medical services. Could it be that we, the EOC, are still looking to provide fresh hay? If so, we need to re-write. Could it be that there never was a Mission Statement? If this is the case we need to develop one. I sure hope that an officer or two of the club will step up and answer those questions, not to defend him or her self but to educate those of us who do not know. Tommy
