Mission Statement
A mission statement is the guiding force for all your activities; it should define
who you are, what you do, and whom you work for. It should be an exciting,
inspiring statement that you and your supporters all believe in. Don’t make it too
long or complicated—many people will ask what your group’s mission is, so your
mission statement should be catchy and easy to understand.

8. Are your objectives SMART?
Your mission and your goals can give you lots of different ideas for
objectives. It is sensible to limit the number of objectives you work on,
so that your time and resources are not spread too thin. When you are
choosing which to pursue, test for whether your chosen objectives are
SMART
9. Advocacy: SMART review
9
Specific: Objectives should be clear and well defined. What? Why? Who? Where? Which?
Measurable: It should be easy to frequently measure whether you are making progress towards
completion. How much? How many? When will you know it has been accomplished?
Achievable: Objectives should be realistic for your group, and for the current climate. Do you
have available resources, knowledge, and time for the objective?
Relevant: Make sure that your objective flows from your goals and your mission. Is it worthwhile?
Is this the right time? Does it contribute to our other goals? Are we the right people for the job?
Time-bound: This criterion stops a goal from being neglected because of everyday tasks, and
drives progress. What is the time limit for completion? What can I do in 6 months? In 6 weeks?
