Strategic Planning was founded in 1989 by Michael D. Dawidziak. Mike spent fifteen years working in the political services/data processing areas developing routines, files and products. After being a consultant, list vendor and data processing services provider for the successful 1988 Bush-Quayle Presidential race, Mike decided to start his own company and incorporated Strategic Planning.

Mike was joined in this venture as principals of the company by John Panagia and Aileen Dawidziak, his sister. John's reputation in the computer and direct mail industry as a systems analyst and software designer was and is sterling. Aileen, as a pioneer in the computer generated laser image field, brings a wide range of technical creativity to the company.

Starting out in offices of 4,000 square feet in Ronkonkoma, New York with a staff of five people, Strategic steadily built a solid reputation for quality and reliability. Working for many companies and campaigns (including three presidentials) Strategic Planning consistently distinguished itself as an invaluable resource. After five years at its original location, the company moved to larger and better equipped offices in Bohemia, New York. For eight years the company has consistently showed a profit while keeping quality at its highest level.
