Our Five Core Values

  • Collaboration: The ability to facilitate, negotiate, build consensus, build strong teams, and empower others.

  • Continuous Learning: The ability to question assumptions and beliefs, understand strengths and shortcomings, and commit to continued growth within a community context.

  • Diversity & Inclusion: The ability to work effectively and inclusively with different people and understand how to adapt to different cultures and environments.

  • Focus on Assets: The ability to catalyze the natural leadership of everyone, be truly accountable to those served, and approach opportunities for change with awareness of community assets.

  • Integrity: The ability to meet commitments, act responsibly with public and personal trust, and be accountable for words and actions.
