TransGender Michigan's new mission statement!

By Steph Turner
Michigan Trans Empowerment Taskforce



TransGender Michigan has reworked their mission statement to try to keep up with the changing times:
Transgender Michigan’s primary mission is to provide advocacy, support and education while serving to create coalitions in the state of Michigan to unify and empower transgender and gender nonconformist communities.”

Their previous mission statement was drafted at a different time in the movement. To keep up with the times, TransGender Michigan is working with the Michigan Trans Empowerment Taskforce to develop a strategic plan to help one another keep up with the changing times. This mission statement update is its first milestone. More is to soon follow.

Thanks to all who have given their input into this mission statement. We received 50 responses to the Survey Monkey survey, and the results expressed broad support for this rewording. Exceptions were noted and continue to inform the development of the full strategic plan. Unlike a business plan, the strategic plan is an elastic document. It is meant to adapt to ongoing changes. It is not written in stone.

We intend to remain engaged with you, the community, to be sure this evolving and dynamic strategic plan speaks to your needs and includes your voice. That’s because this plan is not so much about TransGender Michigan, but about you, the trans communities!
