GNPS 2026-28 Strategic Plan

Executive Summary

Membership and program participation in Georgia Native Plant Society has grown tremendously since 2020, and the energy and passion from within the organization continues to shine through. In 2022, a visionary plan was developed to grow a better landscape in Georgia. The pillars of that plan – education, conservation and advocacy – continue to provide growth toward that long-term vision. The 2026-28 strategic plan builds on these pillars by providing a unified strategy to build capacity for education and public engagement while strengthening organizational infrastructure. We will balance aspirational goals (education, visibility, reach) with critical capacity development (staffing, infrastructure, chapter readiness), enabling GNPS to scale its impact in the years to come.
