DLNR Strategic Plan Now Posted Online

 

HONOLULU - The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) has posted its strategic plan and summary of recent activities on its website at www.hawaii.gov/dlnr

"As part of the Lingle Administration's emphasis on open government and rational change, DLNR is taking steps to use the internet to share our plans and activities with the public. We believe this will improve public understanding of, and interaction with, our department in many ways," said Peter Young, DLNR chairperson.

"Last month, we began posting our Land Board and Water Commission submittals on our web site, as well as the agenda. Now we have posted two new documents that reflect where we are going and what we have done to get there," he said.

DLNR's Strategic Plan is the result of the annual evaluation of goals, objectives, courses of action and measures of effectiveness conducted by each division within DLNR. Find it at:

DLNR's Summary of Recent Activities was used and distributed at a recent briefing Chairperson Young gave before the Senate Water, Land and Agriculture and House Water, Land and Ocean Resources committees. In addition, copies were delivered to each member of the legislature. Find the summary at:
