Burley Griffin Canoe Club Strategic Plan

Executive Summary

Burley Griffin Canoe Club (BGCC) is a respected canoe club around Australia, which strives to be the best. It has a strong and well-supported member base that is growing, as the local community becomes aware of their presence. The BGCC provides many products and services and supports the paddling disciplines of marathon, canoe polo, sprint, touring (river and lake), and slalom/whitewater.

In order to achieve the vision and mission of the club, a set of Key Result Areas (KRA) has been established. The KRAs are Membership, Competition/Events, Coaching/ Officiating/Skill Development, Publicity and Promotion, Management, and Environment Preservation. Each KRA is broken down into goal, objective, strategies and performance indicators.

Contingencies have been identified to ensure that appropriate procedures are put in place to correct problems as they arise. One important aspect of any organisation is how they evaluate themselves. At the BGCC a detailed evaluation strategy is implemented throughout the club year. There are specific evaluations of each KRA through the use of a checklist and also a general evaluation every six months.
