LGL‘s prospects in a strategic planning session

To ensure continuity and consistency of organization‘s work, national LGBT* rights organization LGL held a strategic planning session, attended by LGL staff, board members, and volunteers on October 18th, 2014 in Vilnius.

Considering the changes of social, cultural and political context in which organization carries out its activities, the main challenges and guidelines were discussed and the concept for a Strategic Plan of the year 2015-2018 was purified during the session. The meeting provided an opportunity for everyone taking part in LGL‘s activities to contribute in shaping organization‘s vision for the future.

The participants took part in both individual and collective tasks. Working together they defined LGL‘s vision, mission, its key values and objectives. LGL‘s priorities thus became even clearer: implementing LGBT* rights and fostering respectful social environment for LGBT* people in Lithuania.

Vladimir Simonko, board chair of LGL, sees the strategic planning session as a hint to organization‘s solidity. „Not every NGO carries out its activities and plans for the future with such transparency and responsibility. LGL pays special attention to its goals, values and the continuity of its work“, – states LGL‘s board chair.
