The National Oilseed Processors Association has approved a new strategic plan that outlines the association's priorities for the next five years. The plan aims to advance the US oilseed industry and is aligned with the association's commitment to collaboration, advocacy, and organizational effectiveness. The plan is supported by revised foundational statements, including a revised purpose statement and new association values statements. The NOPA Chair expressed excitement for the future and the opportunity to revitalize the core principles of the organization.
The newly approved strategic plan was developed through a comprehensive process that started in August 2022. Perspectives were gathered from a survey and in-person interviews, and an in-depth analysis of existing themes and previous promise statements was conducted. The NOPA Board of Directors, along with the association's staff and legal counsel, reviewed the previously approved plan and analyzed the current state of the industry to develop a vision for the future of the association.
The new strategic plan is:
