The strategy revolves around forming a strategic advisory committee to enhance Nardin Academy's influence in Buffalo and Western New York. The first approach is assembling a diverse committee by identifying and inviting key local business and community leaders. This diverse selection, aided by consultation with the President, ensures a broad spectrum of expertise from different sectors like finance and technology. For example, inviting a prominent tech entrepreneur with strong regional ties can bring fresh insights and connections.
Effective collaboration among committee members is crucial, facilitated by regular meetings and dedicated coordination for managing communication. An online platform will serve as a hub for exchanging ideas and documents, encouraging productive dialogue. Structured discussion forums can enhance active participation and provide avenues for deliberating varied perspectives, ensuring decisions incorporate diverse insights.
The committee’s resources will be leveraged for strategic impact by identifying challenges and forming subcommittees. This involves tapping into members' networks for partnerships and engaging them in fundraising efforts to bolster financial support. For instance, hosting community events can showcase Nardin’s strengths, increasing visibility and attracting potential collaborations with regional stakeholders.
