Grow and Strengthen the Affton Community Betterment Association
ACBA completed a strategic planning process in October 2006 which involved over 25 area stakeholders and focused the organization's mission and goals.

Based on the strategic plan Housing and Education committees have been formed to address specific plans related to each focal issue. To find out more about what the committees are doing check out the ACBA committee's page.

The ACBA Strategic Planning process was made possible by a collaboration ACBA is a part of with the University of Missouri - St. Louis. To find out more about the Affton Community Partnership Project and its New Americans and Older Residents' Task Forces visit http://www.umsl.edu/~conted/cpp/
