Mission/Strategic Plan



The Carson Valley Trails Association (CVTA), established in 1994, is a non-profit, volunteer
501(c)(3) organization.

During 2007-2008, CVTA developed a ten-year strategic plan to guide the mission and direction of the organization through 2018. This plan is a direct result of public workshops, interviews with key stakeholders, intercept surveys with trail users and input from CVTA members.

A summary overview of the strategic plan is below. A PDF of the entire strategic plan also is available. CVTA would like to thank everyone who participated in the strategic planning process.
