2014 and the New Book

Recently, we held our Annual Strategic Planning Meeting for The DATE SAFE Project moving into 2014. In doing so, we started by reviewing 2013 and making a list of our Year In Review. Having our entire team together for this evaluation was lots of fun.

Next up, we began focusing on our goals for 2014. Once you see all that you’ve done in the previous year, looking ahead becomes even more exciting.

Below you can see the list of work The DATE SAFE Project did in 2013 AND our Goals for 2014. Please share YOUR GOALS for 2014 and let us know how we may be of support to you! If you have ideas for helping us reach our goals, we would love to have you tell us.
