PEP Action Plans - created to support chapters in developing a comprehensive plan for achieving Excellence in each of the program's 10 operational areas. Each plan facilitates the establishment of officer and committee responsibilities, goals, and operational strategies. The Commander and Lt. Commander should ensure that each action plan is completed by the appropriate officers and committee members and that they support the mission, vision, and purpose of the chapter's overall strategic plan. Action plan templates are designed to be updated each year by incoming officers.
