On Wednesday, the Free Speech Coalition released its three-year strategic plan. The plan focuses on several areas, including membership, public relations, government, organizational development and litigation.
Prior to the creation of the Strategic Plan, FSC reviewed and revised the organization's mission statement. FSC's past mission statement was, "Organized in 1991, Free Speech Coalition is the trade association of the adult entertainment industry. As a 501© (6) not-for-profit corporation, FSC is funded by membership dues as well as by fundraising efforts." FSC's revised mission statement is, "Lead, protect and support the growth and well being of the adult entertainment community."
"First, we considered our foundation; FSC's mission," said FSC Executive Director Diane Duke. "Then we went about the business of developing a plan to position FSC to further that mission not only for today, but also well into the future."
Duke came on as the new executive director in November of 2006, replacing Michelle Freridge, who left the post to pursue other goals.
"What works about this plan is that it puts systems in place to strengthen the organization, while at the same time, positioning FSC to be responsive to its members and proactive to the threat of outside forces," said Jim Everett, FSC Board President.
