The Issue

For nearly 50 years, SOT has successfully provided quality programs and services to meet member needs. SOT has a strong base of members, infrastructure and resources; however, in an ever-changing environment, SOT must strengthen its organizational effectiveness so it can achieve its vision and make lasting contributions to its members and society.

Key Objectives for this Strategic Priority

• Align Organizational Structure with Strategic Plan. As the discipline of Toxicology evolves, SOT must have the structure to accomplish its Strategic Priorities and Key Objectives and must align its resources to these outcomes.
• Strengthen Effectiveness of Governance and Fiscal Stewardship. The future success of SOT requires a culture that drives ongoing adjustment of our governance to reach best practices and demands fiscal responsibility.
• Develop Future SOT Leadership. SOT commits itself to cultivating leaders and developing leadership skills to ensure a diverse and talented leadership pool.
• Enhance Internal and External Communications Capability. Developing an integrated communication strategy that extends to all aspects of the Society and that raises the visibility and impact of the Society and its members will be critical to the advancement of the discipline of Toxicology.
• Expand SOT Role Beyond Annual Meeting. The assets of the Society will be used increasingly outside the Annual Meeting to expand the reach and relevance of Toxicology and to promote our vision.
