In today's competitive
marketplace, all major corporations, whether for profit or
charitable, must operate from the vision of a flexible strategic
plan.
The Shrine of North America,
an internationally renowned fraternity, and the governing force
behind Shriners Hospitals for Children in the United States,
Canada and Mexico, is no exception. It recognizes the competitive
forces vying for men's time, leadership, and humanitarian
commitment in today's global society. In addition, the corporation
recognizes the need to examine its own internal demands — fiscal,
structural and organizational.
It has designed a set of
core strategies, including the strategic process necessary to meet
and progressively integrate the challenges and rapid changes
expected in the coming years.
Since 1872, the Shrine of
North America has provided a fraternal organization, coupled with
its charitable outreach opportunities, which has attracted men of
good character, and united them in a spirit of fun, fellowship and
social camaraderie. Our Shrine Temple system continues to
encourage personal growth through the perpetuation of moral
values, leadership opportunity, family involvement, and service to
children and young adults with neuromusculoskeletal conditions,
burn injuries, and certain other special health care needs.
This strategic plan is
designed to set in place, at all levels of the Shrine
organization, the mechanisms, structure and programs necessary to
support the fundamental mission of the Shrine, which is to
continue its preeminence as the most recognized and effective
fraternity in North America.
