ASTSWMO’s Mission: to enhance and promote effective state and territorial waste management programs, and affect national waste management policies.
I. Introduction: Since its inception in 1974, the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO) has strived to serve the needs of its members in environmental agencies in the states and trust territories by providing program development information and other support for program managers and staff. ASTSWMO is a member-driven organization that focuses on connecting its members with one another to share information, learn from one another, and encourage cross-program interaction and learning.
This document, the 2005 Strategic Plan, provides the vision, strategic directions, and near-term actions by which ASTSWMO’s strategic goals will be carried out. It represents the culmination of a series of efforts undertaken by a small Strategic Planning Work Group, the Board of Directors, and the broader membership aimed at identifying future key themes and emerging issues and priority opportunities for the next three years.
II. Vision of Success: Emerging Themes and Issues. In preparation for developing this strategic plan, which is an update to its 2001 Strategic Plan, the Association began by envisioning a future where ASTSWMO was recognized as providing leadership related to a broad spectrum of waste program issues. To achieve this vision, ASTSWMO will continue and expand its role as a convener of dialogue, strengthen its national policy voice, and support initiatives and innovations relative to waste prevention, management, and cleanup. In the process, ASTSWMO will actively explore strategic partnerships where deemed appropriate and will communicate effectively on complex issues in a manner that contributes to public understanding and facilitates transferability of program practices among states and programs.
