Agenda Overview

COMMUNITY INPUT Debrief

VALUES EXERCISE

Core values are what support the vision, shape the culture and reflect what an organization values. 

They are the essence of the company’s identity – the principles, beliefs or philosophy of values

MISSION & VISIONStatements

MISSION STATEMENTS Your mission statement answers the questions: Who are you, as an organization? Why do you exist? What do you do? Who do you serve? It should include: Purpose – A sentence that describes the end result the

organization seeks. Purpose statements usually include two phrases: An infinitive that indicates a change in status, such as -- to increase, to

decrease, to prevent, to eliminate. An identification of the problem or condition to be changed.

VISION STATEMENTS

Some criteria to guide in developing and assessing the effectiveness of a vision statement are:

It answers the question, “What will success look like?” It is compelling, It challenges and inspires the group to stretch its

capabilities to achieve its purpose, It focuses first on the client to be served or impacted, It describes what the organization will look like when

functioning effectively.
