WETP Strategic PlanAfter the events of September 11, 2001, the WETP put together a Strategic Planning Workshop, which occurred on November 1-2, 2001 in Chapel Hill, NC and became the key opportunity for Principal Investigators and key program staff to discuss in detail the components of the plan. The final strategic plan, which was completed in June 2002, owes its insights and operational items in large part to the hard work of the WETP awardees during the November 1-2, 2001 Strategic Planning Workshop. |
