August 2019 -

On 19 May 2019 in the Norman Public Library, over 40 CCDP members participated in a facilitated brainstorming/prioritizing process to identify activities CCDP would be well-served to pursue in the next two years. These activities were bundled (affinitized) into common categories (themes) and then individual, preferred activities were voted on by the participants. The total votes cast for specific activities within each of the themes were tallied to determine which thematic area had the greatest interest by the participants. These thematic areas became the basis for forming Strategic Planning Writing Teams charged with refining the highest-priority activity descriptions and crafting the verbiage to be included in the Strategic Plans.

The Strategic Plan Themes and corresponding Writing Teams are (number of total votes in parentheses):

1. Elections & Recruitment (101)
2. Dem-to-Dem Outreach (98)
3. Precinct Infrastructure (93)
4. Messaging & Communication (52)
5. Org-to-Org Outreach (47)
6. Democratic Voter Registration (42)

Four other themes were identified but these were collectively deemed to be lower priority based on the number of votes the activities received. These themes were Internal/Social (20), Education (16), Logistics (14), and Fundraising (10). This is not to diminish the importance of these themes and their underlying activities, it is just that there are high-priority themes identified as being for the good of CCDP in the next two years. Some of these activities might still be pursued, should others show interest in leading them independent of the Strategic Plan.
