The Link Plan Goals
Goal 1 | A Stronger Academy Drive Participation and Expand Philanthropy Your Association is actively advancing West Point’s mission through the public phase of the largest comprehensive campaign in our history. West Point Ready ’s (WPR) bold, seven- year effort enhances the Margin of Excellence for USMA’s academic, physical, military, and character pillars, as well as WPAOG’s own initiatives. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our graduates, we are on track to meet and exceed our $600M goal by December 2027. Post WPR, we look to build on this momentum and work with the Academy on future priorities as part of a new campaign. Through alumni engagement, we continue to inspire cadets to become active members of the Long Gray Line. We also provide professional services to the Academy—from investment and construction management to strategic support—while also working on revitalizing the communities surrounding West Point by way of reinforcing our enduring commitment to the Academy’s future.
Goal 2 | Graduate-Centered Focus Design and Deliver Relevant and Meaningful Programs
Goal 3 | Your Association’s Dynamic Future Empower Excellence through People, Service, and Investment Your Association actively safeguards the legacy and future of the Long Gray Line by stewarding its financial assets and resources, data, records, infrastructure, and reputation with precision and care. We are embracing new technologies and ensuring our programs and services adapt to the dynamic needs of our graduates. We are strengthening our performance assessment and risk management practices, advancing our data analytics capabilities, and reenvisioning the alumni center to better serve our community. At the same time, we are investing in the professional growth of our management and staff, preserving the rich history of the Long Gray Line, and reinforcing our enduring commitment to each graduate. These efforts ensure that WPAOG remains resilient, forward- looking, and ready to meet the evolving needs of our graduates and the Academy.
Your Association is committed to delivering meaningful, graduate-centered engagement and experiences that serve the Long Gray Line. In the Link Plan, we focus on the Moments that Matter—key milestones, life transitions, visits to West Point, and other important times when graduates and cadets naturally turn to us for support. We are enhancing our technical services to empower volunteer leaders and refining our integrated suite of digital and print communications to ensure personalized, relevant engagement. By aligning our efforts through feedback and listening to hear and understand the real needs of our graduates, we aim to create lasting impacts and deepen our connections with those we serve.
