Martha Cove Yacht Squadron’s Strategy July 2021 to December 2022

Martha Cove Yacht Squadron’s purpose is to connect, inspire and foster community in the Martha Cove area through our shared love of boating. Our values that serve our purpose are;

We care about Community
We are inclusive
We build capabilities & inspire confidence

We first started our strategic planning process at our members forum in early 2020, and whilst covid-19 and various lockdowns hampered many of our activities, your committee continued to work hard behind the scenes, building on the forum and other inputs, to define how we will bring this purpose to life. We’re now pleased to share our strategic plan for the next 18 months with you.

Martha Cove Yacht Squadron is transforming what it means to belong to a community-based Yacht Squadron. Founded in 2019 on the belief that any day on, in or near the water is a good day and the ideals of camaraderie, community and meaningful connections, we welcome all members, all types of boats and watercraft, and all people who feel a connection to the water.

Our varied membership comprises of boat owners, non-boat owners, singles and families, people with a passion for racing or cruisers under power or sail. While many of our members live at Martha Cove and the surrounding areas, others are from further afield and visit our beautiful Mornington Peninsula whenever they can.

As a new organisation, our first priority is to our members and building the infrastructure that will allow us to continue to grow in a sustainable way and to deliver the program of services and events that will advance our purpose.

Our Strategic Priorities for – July 2021 to December 2022

We’re coming off the back of a period in which we were restricted from running activities and engaging our members in ways we would have liked due to the impact of Covid-19. Therefore, our primary focus for the next 18 months is to re-engage members and ensure that Martha Cove Yacht Squadron is healthy and strong in anticipation of future growth. In order to achieve this, our strategic priorities are;

To ensure ethical and sustainable governance and management practices
To improve and strengthen our communication to MCYS members.
To increase the number of members actively participating in MCYS events and activities.

Throughout the strategic planning process, our purpose and values have been top of mind. Our strategy has been informed by input from MCYS members and further developed by the MCYS committee. We look forward to discussing our plans for the next 18 months with you at our next members social night – 6pm on Friday 2nd July at the Atrium. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Commodore John Hall or Vice Commodore Gareth Davies.
