Strategic Plan 
The North Dakota Counseling Association (NDCA) developed its Strategic Plan in 2022 through a comprehensive strategic planning process. NDCA Governing Council determined that the organization's plan would be implemented over a three-year period, falling within the typical 3-5 years duration of a strategic plan. 
The Executive Council reviews the plan annually. The current strategic plan is up for official review in 2025.
