There is a lack of vision and strategy. The Foundation is operating with a tentative plan for three workshops in the next six months, but this is the total extent of the Foundation's planning.;This project attempts to address the following question: What changes are required for the ARAS Foundation to ensure a strategy for sustainable future growth?

In so doing, the following sub questions helped to shape the study and its outcomes: (1) What are the core values of the ARAS Foundation? (2) What is the vision of the ARAS Foundation?
