Strategic Plan 2019-2022
Waterford Chamber conducts a strategic review and creates a Strategic Plan every four years, the purpose of which is to ensure a consistent service to our members. Our Strategic Plan 2019-2022 is the result of a process which involved consultation with Chamber Directors, staff and members. Through several workshops facilitated by RIKON, WIT School of Business, the thoughts of our members in relation to the Chamber’s role within Waterford over the next three years were extracted and a review of what the Chamber it is doing well and what can be improved upon was conducted.
