Strategic Plan 2025

Our plan to serve you

 After 18 months of planning, researching, and collaborating with members from the four corners of Colorado, we are thrilled to present the Colorado Mountain Club’s Strategic Plan 2025. We asked for your advice and leadership on crafting a strategic plan that was both by the members and for the members, and you delivered. This new, bold plan gives us focus and direction to deliver on your most important needs as a member.

 Acknowledgments

 To the 1,000+ CMC members and outdoor enthusiasts who gave their time, gave their feedback, and shared their passions for the CMC through our surveys and engagement sessions – thank you. Your feedback has been essential to craft a strategic plan that truly reflects what the membership wants from their Colorado Mountain Club.

We are especially grateful to Kathy Workman and our entire Board of Directors for their guidance, support, and insight throughout the full process. This strategic plan reflects your dedication to the club.

This plan would also not have happened without the facilitation, planning, designing, and content creation from Bonfire Collective. Thank you for everything. 

the next 3 years...

After arriving at the 2025 benchmark in the midst of a massive building transition and the creation of Basecamp, CMC board and staff created a strategic alignment that uses the foundation of the 2025 strategic plan with our alignment on broad goals and areas of improvement over the next 3 years for 2028.
