When to revise a strategic plan is always a difficult judgement call. As often happens, there are competing priorities--all of which are quite important. One thing to consider is strength of leadership in the new coordinator. If you are recruiting a new coordinator that can develop the new plan, then you should hire the coordinator first. If however, you don't think a new coordinator would be capable of doing this themselves, then you might want to get the plan done first. It sounds like what you should really do is to hire a local consultant to help sort through this complicated situation. Ask around among other agencies about who they use, and see what advice they might offer. Thanks for submitting such an important question to us. We wish you the best in your effort.
