AMGA Strategic Plan

The following four-point strategic plan was adopted by the Board of Directors at it’s June 9, 2006 meeting. The plan represents the priorities for the organization and will guide committees and staff in their work to create a budget for 2007. Goals and tactics indicated by this plan will be detailed more specifically by committees and staff. We view this plan as a working document and will revisit it annually in the spring so that it can inform the planning and budgeting process for the following year.

The AMGA will:

• Unify the guiding community in the US and within the AMGA.
• Seek to have every working US guide a member of the organization and in support of education, certification, and standards.

• Continue to strengthen the education and testing programs.</li>
  • Improve our ability to deliver the volume of guides necessary to meet the needs of land managers and customers demanding certified guides

• Improve the benefits of membership
• Improve access for certified guides and accredited schools
• Make the AMGA an information source for members
• Negotiate group discounts for members (e.g. insurance)
• Market certified guides and accredited schools
• Continue to develop the long term financial strength and stability of the organization.
