Strategic Plan

As the oldest, largest, and foremost Fraternity for Engineers, Theta Tau has a mission to engineer leaders for service, profession, and brotherhood. We are dedicated to developing members who – throughout their respective industries, Chapters, and communities – demonstrate a commitment to our core values:

Throughout the 2021-2023 biennium, we – as a broad, capable team of students, alumni volunteers, and national officers – are striving to progress the Fraternity in three key Areas of Focus:

Membership Experience

We will enhance the membership experience to more effectively develop and deliver a network of lasting personal and professional relationships, and to both demonstrate and expand the long-term value of Theta Tau membership to its brothers.

Connectivity

We will create connectivity and understanding amongst all members to foster an inviting, safe, and social environment in which brothers can become lifelong friends.

Resource Management

We will optimize the Fraternity’s resource management to develop and nurture engineers with strong communications, problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership skills who are empowered to create and sustain a unifying environment for learning and personal growth for our brothers.

Our specific goals are outlined as follows:
