YOBC’s Board of Directors approved a new five-year strategic plan in June 2017.
The plan affirms YOBC Values:
- Artistic Excellence as achievable for each ensemble
- Teamwork among staff, participants and volunteers
- Providing a Nurturing, Respectful and Enjoyable environment that supports all participants
- Challenging all participants to strive to maximize their musical development and personal growth
- The promotion of Service to others through individual and collective efforts
The plan recognizes the following as YOBC’s Key Areas of Organizational Focus:
- Core YOBC Ensembles – Provide a musical experience at the highest level possible to challenge
participants from their entry into YOBC through high school. - Special Music Programs for Core Ensembles – Provide additional opportunities, such as master
classes, guest artists, concerts and workshops, each year to enrich and broaden participants’
educational experience. - Students-in-Concert – Partner with schools to provide access to enhanced instrumental music
education programs for students who live in communities where schools have reduced or
eliminated such programs. - Personnel – Secure and support high quality artistic and administrative personnel required to
support YOBC’s mission and continued artistic growth. - Facilities and Infrastructure – Proactively identify and secure administrative and
artistic/educational facilities required to support YOBC’s mission and continued artistic growth. - Financial Stability & Management – Ensure the continued financial health of YOBC through
effective financial planning, development and stewardship of financial resources, as well as the
continued review and enhancement of financial processes and controls. - Marketing & Awareness of YOBC – Build awareness of YOBC, its mission and programs with the
families of potential participants and the music and education communities as well as potential
individual and corporate donors.
