Osage Nation Announces Strategic Planning Outreach Tour to Plan Next Five Years

Office of Strategic Planning to host Multiple Outreach Sessions Across the United States 

OSAGE NATION RESERVATION, OKLA. (December 9, 2024) –  As part of the Osage Nation's 25-Year Vision & Strategic Plan Summary Report conducted in 2007, an integral document to our future, the Osage Nation Office of Strategic Planning announces an Osage Nation Strategic Plan Update Tour. The update aims to refine and renew the strategies, priorities, and desires of the Nation's constituents for the next five years. It is vital to include all voices of the Nation since the last update in 2020. 

"Our Strategic Plan is a living, breathing document that we must be constantly reevaluating to ensure the government is serving our people," said Osage Nation Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear. "It is critical that as many Osages as possible - across all walks of life - are a part of shaping it." 

The 25-Year Vision and Strategic Plan is not just a document but a vital guidepost used by all branches of government when making decisions for the Osage Nation. It provides a clear path and ensures our decisions today align with our long-term goals of tomorrow. 

To provide opportunities for all Osages throughout the globe, the Office of Strategic Planning will host multiple information sessions across the United States, as well as virtually. These information sessions, designed to provide insight into the strategic planning process and to collect information for the upcoming survey, are crucial for shaping the next five years. The survey, which will be available for all Osages constituents 18 years and older to complete, will be a key tool in gathering our community's diverse perspectives and priorities. The data collected from these surveys will serve as the foundation for the 2026-2030 Strategic Plan update, which will further support the Osage Nation's core values: spiritual strength, pride for our heritage, justice, fairness, compassion, respect for and protection of children, elders, all fellow beings, and self.
