KEY AREAS OF FOCUS

1. Growing the Field of Social Marketing – Promote and raise awareness of the social marketing field and its contribution to society.
2. Our Members & Volunteers – Ensure that we have a continually growing and engaged membership and volunteer base that sees value in SMANA and the resources that it provides.
3. Coalition Building – Regularly collaborate with other similar fields working to improve individual and societal well-being.
4. Financial Health – Strengthen the financial position of SMANA so that it has the resources to hire paid staff and provide a wide variety of quality services to its members.
5. Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) –  Make DEI a cornerstone of SMANA, reflected both internally and externally.
