Teatro Visión's current strategic plan covers the year 2021-22 through 2023-24. The major goals outlined in the plan are 1) Strengthen Teatro Visión’s year-round presence in our local community and 2) Continue to create and pursue innovative projects and programs.
As described below, as of Spring 2024, the Board of Directors approved an addendum to extend this Strategic Plan to June 2025.

Addendum
In anticipation of the culmination of this 3-Year Strategic Plan, the Teatro Visión Board of Directors convened an ad hoc Strategic Planning Committee (Committee) in Spring 2023. The Committee was comprised of the following board and staff members:
- Crystal Cardenas, Board President & Committee Chair
- Blanca Sanchez-Cruz, Board Vice President
- Peter Allen, Board Secretary & Past Strategic Planning Committee Chair
- Leigh Henderson, Board Member & Past Managing Director
- Ivette Deltoro, Managing Director
- Rodrigo García, Artistic Director
With the consent of the Board, the Committee began a year-long process to review the organization’s current Strategic Plan, engage with internal and external stakeholders, and deliver an updated 3-Year Strategic Plan for FY2025-FY2027 for board approval no later than June 2024.
As the Committee approached the end of its work in early 2024, the organization encountered two unexpected leadership disruptions, first with the resignation of Board President Crystal Cardenas in January, followed by the departure of Managing Director Ivette Deltoro in April. The former delayed progress on the Strategic Plan as both the Committee and Board sought new leadership. The latter prompted the Board and Staff to renew conversations regarding the scope, hours, and salary of the Managing Director position in the hopes of recruiting and retaining the highest quality candidate and expanding the organization's capacity.
Understanding that these conversations would have significant impacts on the organization's long-term planning, the Board decided to postpone the start of the next 3-Year Strategic Plan to FY2026 and continue to focus on the goals, initiatives, and strategies of the current plan in FY2025. During that time, it is anticipated that the organization will, in addition to the strategies detailed therein:
- Continue to develop a new, community-based work in collaboration with Santa Clara County Poet Laureate Yosimar Reyes; and
- Begin the development of a pilot year-round ensemble of artists trained in Teatro Visión’s applied participatory theater methods to take on new projects to enhance our community engagement and educational programs.
The organization anticipates the hiring of a permanent Managing Director in Early 2025, at which time the Committee will reconvene to complete its work and deliver a draft Strategic Plan for FY2026-2028 for board approval no later than June 2025.
