Since 1967, the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America has led the way in research, advocacy, and patient support for those suffering from Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Through the vision of our founders, Irwin and Suzanne Rosenthal, William and Shelby Modell, and Dr. Henry Janowitz, the Foundation has become the national beacon of hope for those suffering with inflammatory bowel diseases.
The 2010 strategic planning effort, launched in June 2006, builds on the organizational strengths that have developed over the last 40 years. Our course is direct, our vision sure, and our mission unwavering. With input from well over 300 volunteers and staff, the 2010 Strategic Plan charts a course for the future.
Having and following a strategic plan sets successful organizations apart from those that merely muddle along. The Strategic Plan will be relevant to all components of the organization as annual operating plans are developed. It represents a blueprint, and will serve as a roadmap for how we will proceed as one organization to accomplish our mission and goals.
