In Q3, 2017 operations planning was a key focus for the alliance. NEEA staff worked with funders to plan 2017 activities, identify potential synergies and avoid areas of overlap with utility program efforts. The resulting draft 2017 Operations Plan, which we will present to the Board in December 2016 for approval, identifies a number areas where additional local utility program support will be crucial to meeting our 5-year goals. Also in Q3, the alliance kicked off its regional strategic planning process. The next strategic plan, which is targeted for completion in Q4 2017, will provide a roadmap for the alliance 2020-2024 and form the basis of our next business plan.
