Sap is sometimes called the blood of a tree because it circulates inside,
carrying nutrients and water throughout the tree. A tree would die
if sap didn’t circulate inside it. Tree sap also has a great deal of potential for
future uses.

FAQ’s

approval of the plan• How is a Strategic Action Plan developed?
– Chapter members work together as a team generating goals, strategies for achieving them, and persons or committees responsible for implementation
• What is the suggested format?– Include areas of focus, objectives, measurable activities, and
responsible persons/committees – Not all plans will look the same; your SAP should fit your chapter’s
needs and address the areas of focus you feel are important

Strategic Action Planning is not studying the stars or copying other chapters.
Strategic Action Planning is looking at your own chapter through a microscope. What are you doing well? What do you need to work on? Where do you see your chapter in the future? How can you get there?
