Strategic Plan & Vision
Making an impact is at the heart of CASQA’s programs and initiatives. Led by our Vision for Sustainable Stormwater Management, CASQA is focused on solutions that maximize stormwater capture, minimize pollution through true source control, increase funding for stormwater programs, and approach stormwater as a resource.
We advocate to achieve these outcomes via regulatory and legislative processes. Education is core to everything, reflected in our training programs, outreach materials, and events. Our work is based on the best available science and achieved by collaborating and working through partnerships with our members and other organizations.
Strategic Plan
To make a significant impact, organizations must have a roadmap. Organizational effectiveness depends on operating with common understandings about what is important and what the organization needs to accomplish. Our Strategic Plan is that roadmap, ensuring that CASQA is mission and vision focused, our programs and resources are in alignment with the mission and vision, and we are accountable to our members.
