Strategic PlanningThe EVMS Strategic Plan was approved by the EVMS Board of Visitors on May 14, 2002. Begun in April 2001, the strategic planning effort's goal was to develop a new Strategic Plan that the Board of Visitors would endorse that would guide EVMS' development during the next three to five years.
