PACT has grown significantly since its last strategic plan in 2021. While our mission, vision, and values are defined and functioning, PACT seeks a renewal of the 2021 strategic plan that reflects both the urgency and complexity of the issue.

We seek a strategy that not only reinforces our core strengths but also encourages innovation and adaptability in the face of these realities.
