Strategic Plan

A strategic plan is like a road map that shows where an organization is heading. Every successful organization has a strategic plan. Simply put, strategic planning determines where an organization is going over the next year or more, how it's going to get there and how it'll know if it got there or not.

The Office for Sport and Recreation recognize the importance of having a Strategic Plan and require TTSA to have a strategic plan otherwise the sport of table tennis will not receive government funding.

The current Strategic Plan covers the period from the beginning of 2007 to the end of 2009 (3 years).
