Introduction                       Brief History

With great pleasure, the Utah Tomorrow Strategic Planning Committee presents its 1998 Annual Report of the Utah Tomorrow Strategic Plan. This report represents another step in this important effort to encourage planning and cooperation in meeting the needs of Utahns.  Many hours of work and coordination between the Legislature, Judiciary, executive agencies and departments, local governments, and the public at large are realized with the publication of this draft of the Utah Tomorrow Strategic Plan. This is a living, breathing document that the committee will continue to refine and improve.

During 1997, the Utah Tomorrow Strategic Planning Committee continued to refine the goals, objectives, and performance measures in a cooperative effort with state agencies, departments, and local government.  Executive departments and local governments play a key role in the implementation of statewide strategic goals -- their involvement is critical to its success.
