We will strive to achieve this vision through exemplary leadership, education, public relations and the strong commitment of teamwork. It will be the vision and goal to provide the membership with accurate information to help evaluate and plan for the sound future of Bahia Shriners.

9. OBJECTIVES; 1. To accurately project the approximate Bahia membership for the next ten years based on historical data. 2. To take the membership projection and calculate the dues money that membership number would provide. Based on projected needs, evaluate if and when next dues increase would be needed. 3. To study members needs, requests, and objectives to be certain we provide to the best of our ability what is needed to help promote increased membership.

10. OBJECTIVES; • To study our current facility at 2300 Pembrook Drive, Orlando. To determine it’s condition, anticipated needs in the future, and to determine it’s approximate current value. • Based on membership projections, and costs and needs of current building, determine if and when a facility change may be needed. 6. To take into consideration the budget overage/shortages the past few years. Consider rentals and catering revenues, how can we increase them?

11. OBJECTIVES; 7. To study optional locations for a new Shrine Center that would be located in an area that would best accommodate our Nobility. Accessibility and cost of land should be considered. 8. Determine if and when serious consideration should be given to purchasing a piece of land for investment and possible future use by Bahia Shriners. 9. To provide a written summary with findings and possible recommendations to the Bahia membership based on the study of Bahia’s future.

12. OBJECTIVES; • To keep in mind at all times that the purpose of this study is to keep Bahia Shriners financially solvent while providing the best possible facilities for its Nobles. By good planning, if membership continues to decline, we must be prepared to react accordingly. 11. To keep our Shrine Hospital system strong we must keep our Shrine Center strong. You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all of the time.
