BRC's Strategic Plan

A 5-Year plan for continued growth & impact

Released in early 2021, BRC's 5-Year Strategic Plan "BRC Beyond 50: Moving Forward, Increasing Our Impact, and Achieving Our Potential," will guide the organization's development as we seek to serve our clients in an ever-changing city. 


Created following extensive environmental analyses and engagement with BRC's workforce, clients, friends, supporters, and partners, this plan sets the course for BRC's future and lays out four key overarching goals.

​

First adopted in December 2019 by our Board of Directors, COVID-19 arrived just as BRC was about to launch the plan. As a frontline organization, BRC had to shift focus to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of our clients, staff, and our enterprise. In the context of a global pandemic and the resurgent national conversation on systemic racism, BRC recognized an obligation to reassess the strategic plan to make certain it acknowledged the significant economic, social justice, and public health challenges that came to a head in 2020. BRC has done so in the addendum entitled "BRC Beyond 50: Reflecting and Recommitting."
