Participants asked to craft future headlines to shape Jefferson County plan
Summary
As part of the workshop, attendees were asked to draft a future-focused headline to guide goals and alignment with existing organizational mission statements; the moderator emphasized alignment and avoiding side conversations during the exercise.
The session included an interactive exercise: the consultant asked participants to "come up with a headline from the future" to frame priorities and measure success. Sarah Wilson explained that participants would take turns introducing themselves and sharing their headline to surface shared values and goals.
The Moderator emphasized alignment with existing mission statements and asked that side conversations stop because they make it hard to record notes. The exercise was positioned as a way to identify values and crossover areas between separate city and county strategic plans so they can be graphically represented in the final plan.
Participants were instructed that both city and county staff would participate and that the process would attempt to show where plans overlap and where they remain distinct. The group agreed to proceed with introductions and headline sharing to jump-start group discussions.
