Legal Aid of Nebraska (LAN) developed a Strategic Plan for 2008-2012. This plan is client-centered in that it responds to the Legal Aid of Nebraska Needs Assessment. It is dedicated to quality service and moving clients to self-sufficiency. It is grounded in the American Bar Association Standards for the Provision of Civil Legal Aid and the Legal Services Corporation's Performance Criteria. The plan recognizes that a strong and stable staff is required to accomplish the mission. It continues some of the unfinished but relevant strategies of the previous strategic plan. The plan will require that LAN's priorities and allocations of resources be shifted to some degree to align with the conclusions of the Needs Assessment. It will require a strategic and productive resource development effort. It will also require the involvement and leadership of a strong Board of Directors. In the end, this strategic plan promises to take Legal Aid of Nebraska to a new level, one that will secure its role as a major player in the effort to reduce poverty and promote an open, just and democratic society.
