Western Strategies Center Strategic Vision

Colorado Springs, El Paso County, and the Rocky Mountain Region have many challenges for the elected leadership of the various communities.  While the elected bodies are usually engaged in response to short term problems due to their immediacy, there is a substantial need for dispassionate analyses of the longer range issues and the associated strategic planning they require.  Western Strategies Center will provide the needed analysis.
                          
Western Strategies Center (WSC) is a nonprofit category 501(c)3 policy center dedicated to identifying implementable solutions to problems affecting Colorado Springs, El Paso County and the Rocky Mountain Region.  WSC’s initial focus is El Paso County.  As the Center grows, that focus will broaden to include the Rocky Mountain Region. The organization is non-partisan, capable of conducting, accepting, and evaluating research and proposed solutions.  WSC policy documents will provide courses of action as well as associated implementation strategies.  WSC will treat persons served as well as staff with the utmost of professionalism and respect.

Vision
Reasoned, researched, and non-partisan approaches to solving problems are needed to address issues affecting the Rocky Mountain Region.

Mission
