Mission, Vision, and Values - No easy Feat!

Have you ever felt like you were out of step with the organization that you work for?  Has your organization ever spoken to you about their mission, vision and values? Maybe this is where the disconnect lies!

We have been working on revamping our mission, vision and defining our values and it has proven to be very difficult.  Getting down to the root of what you stand for can be challenging to articulate in such a short blurb!  The benefit though, is that it provides clarity and direction for the entire organization and has proven to be well worth the time and energy spent on it.

We thought we would share what we have come up with.  Please feel free to comment and share yours - personal or organizational!
