Some important changes include:

• Clearly presented departmental program descriptions
  • A narrative description of the assigned services, functions, programs and activities of organizational units should be included. Major priorities within each organizational unit should also be addressed.
• Clear linkage between identified programs and goals and objectives
  • This criterion requires that departmental/program goals and objectives be described. The relationship of departmental/program goals to the strategic goals of the entity should be apparent.
