The implementation process will start in 2008 and continue through 2025.

Approximately 20 community members from throughout Pickens County have been chosen to serve as the initial Implementation Team by members of the Steering Committee who serve as members of the Board of Directors of Pickens County Vision 2025 Inc. The names and their affiliation or representation are shown in the Committee page. Click here to go directly to the list.

This new committee will start meeting in early 2008, and will oversee the implantation process. The Implementation Team will appoint officers, and name members from their body to head up each of the five (5) focus areas. Along with the heads of the focus areas, they will recommend and solicit Vision Partners to participate in the working task forces to embrace, support, and achieve a selected number of objectives in each of the five (5) focus areas.

The task forces dealing with the chosen objectives will meet, establish current bench marks of the starting point for an objective, and create coalitions and partnerships to achieve an objective within a time frame. The task forces will meet monthly as long as needed to meet the selected objective. They will report back to the Implementation Team quarterly, giving a progress report and results on their plan to achieve their objective.

The Implementation Team will monitor the progress of all the task forces, and provide any additional resources to assist a task force in achieving their objective. The Implementation Team will provide a report to the community on an annual basis giving the progress toward achieving the objectives by each of the five (5) areas.
