The City of Chandler engaged Keen Independent to develop a five-year strategic plan for the Chandler Museum. The Chandler Museum includes:

• Chandler Museum campus;
• Ranch and Tumbleweed Park;
• Vision Gallery;
• Gallery at the Chandler Center for the Arts; and
• Other virtual and dispersed assets throughout the city.

The plan is a step toward leveraging the alignment of efforts across disciplines and physical locations and working in concert with the Museum’s affiliated nonprofit, the Chandler Museum Foundation. As part of this plan, Keen Independent will work with the City and stakeholders to develop an innovative vision, define key audiences the Museum will serve and identify goals and strategies the Museum will enact to fulfill its vision.
