The Latin American Studies Association (LASA) invites proposals from experienced consultants or firms to design and facilitate a comprehensive strategic planning process for the Association. LASA seeks to chart a clear, ambitious, and achievable course for the next five to ten years, building on its rich history and adapting to a rapidly evolving academic and global environment.
This process will culminate in a new Strategic Plan that reflects LASA's mission, values, and vision while addressing the key challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The selected consultant will guide LASA's leadership, staff, and stakeholders through a highly participatory process, resulting in a focused, actionable, and measurable strategic framework.
All proposals must be submitted electronically in PDF format by February 20, 2026.
