Strategic Plan
The Ohio Fire Chiefs' Association (OFCA) exists to promote education and study ways and means to deal with the ongoing complex fire protection issues facing the State of Ohio. It endeavors to reduce to a minimum Ohio's loss of life and property through destruction by fire. The Association provides for the interchange of ideas, practices and experiences for the betterment of the fire and emergency services. It serves as a resource and provides support material to Ohio's fire and emergency service leaders.
It recognizes the necessity of unity and representation for all fire and emergency service organizations throughout the state. It attempts to create and represent a vision for fire serves across the state. It is positioned to act as a change agent in implementing improvements throughout Ohio. The OFCA allows for Chief-to-Chief networking as a conduit for timely information along with professional credibility.
In September 2022, the OFCA Board of Directors, OFESF Board of Trustees, and staff, along with facilitators, convened to work on the 2022-2027 Strategic Plan. Participants went through many exercises over a 2-day period to identify both past successes and identify new incentives for the Association.
OFCA's new strategic plan will set forth a comprehensive vision and mission statement that provides the Association with a clear path as we move forward. In addition, the plan will identify our core values and how we will carry those out through the work of the organization.
By looking back at what is already successful in the OFCA, a benchmark is provided to build the foundation for the Strategic Plan. It is important to acknowledge and honor the past.
OFCA's Strategic Plan sets forth a comprehensive vision and mission statement that provides the Association with a clear path into the future. In addition, the Plan identifies the core values that embody how the members, individually and collectively, will carry out the work of the organization.
OFCA's mission is translated into action and results through its members and staff.
