The American Philosophical Association board of officers is pleased to present a new strategic plan for the association. It is the culmination of a two-year-long process that included surveys of APA members and constituents, online focus groups, in-person listening sessions, analysis of association metrics, and extensive board discussion. The planning process (which was originally intended to last one year) and the plan itself were reworked in light of the coronavirus pandemic that began in 2020.

The strategic plan contains the following six strategic goals, which are detailed in the PDF:
- Create Opportunities for Connection
- Foster Scholarly Excellence
- Foster Teaching Excellence
- Welcome, Support, and Represent the Full Spectrum of Philosophers
- Promote and Advocate for Philosophy and Philosophers
- Ensure Organizational Stability and Sustainability
This strategic plan will be used to guide decision-making by the board of officers, staff, and other APA leadership through 2025. The board of officers will monitor and oversee its implementation, and the strategic planning advisory committee that oversaw the planning process will be consulted about implementation as appropriate.
