None of this is possible without articulating this vision. This document is a rough draft of such a vision; indeed it will always remain a rough draft, as change is the only constant. Care must be taken, however, that this change is organic, gradual, and serves the [[Mission Statement|Mission]] of the Society. Without such care, change will manifest as "mission creep" and lead the organization to become something quite unintentionally different.
Note please that at present, the entire contents of the Centennial Vision is are the musings and opinions of one of the [[Consuls]]. It does not have the endorsement of and may not reflect the opinions of the [[Board]], [[Eagle Council]], or any other [[Elected Officers|Elected Officer]], volunteer, or member of the Society. Consuls hope that it will be found a useful source of inspiration to those bodies and officers who are responsible for the vision, planning, and administration of the Society. At the least, it will perhaps help to explain some of the many odd opinions held and actions taken by these Consuls as they work within the adopted plans to further their own version of the Society's vision.
'''Proposal: The [[Board|Board of Directors]] of the Society, by delegation to the [[Order of the Augustan Eagle]], should take responsibility for completing and maintaining this long-range vision for the Society's future.'''
