The result of this reflection is this strategic plan which we firmly believe provides a new perspective on our work and a sharpened focus on how and where we should expend valuable and limited resources. The strategic plan serves as the agency’s road map for the next 5 years. Our strategic plan lays out CAPM’s three long-term goals and will guide us in establishing the annual goals we will need to meet along the way. It will help us to measure how far we have come towards achieving our goals and to recognize where we need to adjust our approaches or directions to achieve better results. Finally, it will provide a basis from which we can focus on the highest priority issues and ensure that we use taxpayer dollars effectively. The strategic plan is built around our mission, “To be an advisor to policymakers, advocate for the community, and builder of bridges.” This mission represents and is supported by all of the mandated statutory activities defined in our enabling statute.

    2O16ANNUAL REPORT REPRESENTING IMMIGRANTS | EDUCATING COMMUNITIES | ADVOCATING FOR CHANGE 2016 ANNUAL REPORT LETTER FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RISING TO THE CHALLENGE This election year of 2016 was a tough year for immigrants and 2016 Board of Directors refugees and for us. Campaign rhetoric descended into anti-immigrant hate speech. Mario Hernandez, Board President Outright lies about immigrants and immigration multiplied on Enrique R. Vazquez, Board Vice President social media and in political discourse. The challenges before us DeAnne Hilgers, Board Secretary included responding to this hateful and deceptive rhetoric, as well as continuing to grow our capacity to represent immigrants and Grant Ostler, Board Treasurer refugees, to educate all of our communities about immigration, Tinzing Artmann and to advocate for more just immigration laws. Sharon Jacks, Founding Board Memeber Standing with immigrants — especially young immigrants and DREAMers — we met the challenge. We fought back against hate Thomas Larson by speaking truth. We represented Deferred Action for Childhood William Mahlum, Founding Board Member Arrivals (DACA) recipients, reunited refugees with their families, Marta Pereira and helped immigrants become proud new U.S. citizens. We were blessed to share their stories and to see first-hand the rich talents Sandra Rathod and gifts that immigrants bring to this country. Rodolfo (Rudy) Rodriguez We can share only a few of their stories in this annual report. Irma Marquez Trapero If you’d like to hear more from us, please check out our website Jote Taddese and our Facebook page, and subscribe to Action Alerts. Now, more than ever, we need you to stand strong with us and with Adam Yang Minnesota’s immigrant and refugee communities.
