Our Values
Releasing Inherent Capacity. We already have a wealth of resources, individually and as a community. Our primary focus is on igniting and cultivating that capacity.
Engaging in Personal Journey. Leadership and civic engagement involve a lifelong journey of discovery and learning.
Embracing Creative Ambiguity. Powerful questions and the ability to host diverse views can transform our understanding and our actions.
Practicing Stewardship. We are stewards of our community and the natural environment. We practice integrity and accountability in everything we do.
Creating Extraordinary Society. Together we can create the kind of community we know is possible, for ourselves and for future generations.
