First, lets look at the central challenge

• The map begins with determination of the central
  challenge of the Association
• The central challenge focuses on what the
  organization needs to do in the next three years
  to support its mission.
• The central challenge is also the focal point for
  strategy.

  Capacity to Reduce the Burden of Chronic Disease

6
Next, strategic priorities

• Strategic priorities delineate the critical
  things that must be done in order to meet the
  central challenge.
• There are two tests for each strategic priority
• Is it necessary to meet the central challenge?

  to meet the challenge?

Our strategic priorities are

• Strengthen the Chronic Disease workforce
• Influence policy at all levels

Cross-cutting priority

  outcomes that exist among specific population
  groups in the United States.   Health disparities
  can affect populations groups based on gender,
  age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geography,
  sexual orientation, disability or special health
  care needs and occur among groups who have
  persistently experienced historical trauma,
  social disadvantage or discrimination, and
  systematically experience worse health or greater
  health risks than more advantaged social groups.
