DVCC Strategic Plan



2023-2026 Strategic Plan:

The Center for Court Innovations facilitated a strategic planning meeting with the Council and community partners on January 25, 2022.  Progress on the existing strategic plan was reviewed, and needs and gaps to be addressed in a new/updated strategic plan were identified.  CCI then provided a Themes Report to the Council with specific recommendations for priorities to be included in a new Strategic Plan.  Based on the report, a new Strategic Plan was developed but had not been finalized by Council by the point in Fall 2022 when the Executive Director position became vacant and the new Executive Director was hired.  At the December Quarterly meeting, the Chair requested a small group of people be identified who were tasked with reviewing existing documents and finalizing a draft plan for the Council to consider at the March 2023 Quarterly Meeting.  The attached represents the culmination of that work, and what the Council approved.

2018-2021 Strategic Plan:

On November 14, 2017, the DVCC contracted the services of the Center for Court Innovation to facilitate a strategic planning day with the Council and key community partners. Participants in this event articulated a broad vision for enhanced statewide coordination on domestic violence cases in order to better promote victim safety and offender accountability. Participants reviewed previously identified goals and generated new ideas for fulfilling the broader vision. The Council then prioritized new areas of focus and developed several achievable initiatives that would further enhance cross-court communication, coordinate and address high risk domestic violence cases, promote resources for offenders and develop strategies for education, prevention and awareness.

Members voted on a name for the new strategic plan. Aptly named “P.E.A.C.E (Prevention * Education* Collaboration* Engagement),” this strategic plan emphasizes the Council’s commitment to the mission. The goals and objectives lay out a plan for the next few years that will focus on the safety and needs of victims; offender accountability; and supportive efforts towards a collaborative community response to violence in families and the community.
