The Strategic Planning Committee is charged with reviewing and updating CS-SIS's strategic plan . The committee is ad-hoc and is generally appointed every two years. It is chaired by a member of the SIS, usually a previous Chair.

The Strategic Planning Committee's charge is updated according to the 2011 strategic plan. It will execute Strategic Direction 1: develop a strategic plan that reflects the desires and needs of the section through active and ongoing engagement with the CS-SIS Membership.

Led by its chair, the committee:

• reassesses the form of 2008-2010 strategic plan for revision by:
• soliciting input from membership; possible venues include the CS-SIS blog, Law Librarian Conversations podcast, online surveys, virtual townhalls, regional chapter meetings
• clarifying strategic goals
• identifying deliverables
• drafts and recommends a new, detailed plan addressing the direction of the CS-SIS for the next 3 years to the Executive Board for approval during the 2011-2012 year

The chair:

• sends a copy of the new plan to the Chair and the Secretary/Treasurer
• after board approval, works with Communications Committee Chair to ensure the new plan is distributed to members and posted to the CS website
• reports briefly on the committee's activities at the CS-SIS business meeting
• submits a written report to the CS-SIS Chair detailing the committee's activities according to the deadline set by the Chair each year; sends a copy of the report to the Secretary / Treasurer
