GREENVILLE, S.C. – Conference Carolinas has officially unveiled its new strategic plan in conjunction with the start of its annual spring meetings on Monday, May 16 and Tuesday, May 17 at the Spartanburg Marriott.
The strategic plan is part of a yearlong effort of working with Nancy Mitchell (Strategic Edge) and Kathy Turpin (K. Turpin Consulting) and the Conference Carolinas Board of Directors to put together a strategic plan that the conference will utilize from 2022-25.
“When I first arrived as Commissioner of Conference Carolinas in 2019 it became apparent that we already had a key strategy in place around building ‘Champions in Body, Mind, and Soul’ but we also needed to fine-tune what that meant to us and build a new and updated path for the present and future,” Commissioner Chris Colvin. “I fully believe that our new strategic plan is ideal for what we are trying to accomplish as a group in Conference Carolinas. It’s always our number one priority to help our member institutions fulfill their missions, and through the efforts of Nancy and Kathy and many more, we feel like we have a plan in place that can help guide us through 2025 and beyond.”
The Conference Carolinas Strategic Plan is fully built around the belief that building “Champions in Body, Mind, and Soul” in Conference Carolinas is not just a slogan; it’s what Conference Carolinas sets out to accomplish every day.
“Champions in Body, Mind, and Soul” is about the development of the whole student-athlete. Playing sports isn’t just about winning on the scoreboard but about winning in life. That requires a commitment to excellence in all aspects of the experience, which is what is done in Conference Carolinas.
The new strategic plan is built around the following priorities:
· Actualization of Champions in Body, Mind, and Soul.
· Culture of Care, Compassion, and Integrity.
· Membership and Financial Stability.
· Championships and Game-Day Experience.
· Marketing, Branding, and Strategic Communications.
These particular priorities intentionally embody Conference Carolinas’ vision to be “Champions in Body, Mind, and Soul” and its commitment to attain excellence and virtue in all that the conference does each and every day.
“We cannot thank Nancy and Kathy enough for their expertise and efforts to help us align our thoughts and ideas into what is a fantastic plan for us going forward,” Colvin said. “In addition, we also need to thank those who served on the strategic planning committee and all of those in the conference who were involved in providing valuable feedback to help us form this plan. We are looking forward to fully implementing our new strategic plan over the course of the summer and in the 2022-23 academic year.”
The strategic plan document was designed by Gary and Sydney Brown in consultation with the Conference Carolinas office and Nancy Mitchell and Kathy Turpin. All photos were provided through the collaborative efforts of the 13 Conference Carolinas member institutions.
