Vision Means Today and Tomorrow
By Tara Mulder, LIRS Director for Marketing and Communications

On a map, I can point to where I am and trace a line to where I want to go. I can learn things about my destination and make plans for fun, for friends, or a new chapter of life. But if I don’t pack my bags and get in the car or buy my train ticket, I’m not going to get there. I can visualize the picture of fitness I want to achieve in a year. But if I don’t work my triceps today, I’m not going to get there.

No matter what I dream or plan for tomorrow, what I do today is important to getting there.

LIRS has mapped out a vision and a strategic plan for 2015. We listened to people we’ve welcomed and people who make welcome their mission so we know where we’re going and who is coming with us. We’re excited. We made a video. Watch it, share it, read more and tell us what you think!
