The checklist is designed to help county governments align their strategic planning efforts with national best practices and increase their chances of winning the prestigious NACo award. The NACo EDGE Excellence in Strategic Planning Award is a non-competitive award that recognizes counties that have created and communicated a thoughtful and comprehensive annual strategic plan to help improve the services and infrastructure they provide to their constituents. Similar to how counties can be recognized for excellence in budgeting through the GFOA award, the NACo award now offers an opportunity for counties to showcase their commitment to effective strategic planning. ClearGov’s ClearPlans now incorporates a built-in checklist that aligns directly with the NACo EDGE Excellence in Strategic Planning Award criteria. These criteria include: Introductory Letter; Mission, Vision & Values statement; Environmental Assessment; Strategic Planning Process Overview; Planning Leadership Team; Action Plan Structure; Performance Measures; Plan Execution; Budget Allocation; and Communication of the Plan. Key features of the checklist include:
