We believe strong relationships are key to our success, and we are stronger together than we are apart.

We understand how our employees, members, and partner organizations all benefit from working together to achieve a common goal of greater progress and growth. That’s why we prioritize fostering and cultivating meaningful connections both within our team as well as outside it. Each of us bring new levels of creativity to a project or challenge.

The important emphasis is on strong and meaningful relationships, which require an investment of time. This is about more than an occasional meeting or email. It means making time to sit with one another, as often and as long as it takes, to gain understanding and trust, as individuals and organizations.

We never consider our connections complete, as we continue to meet and welcome new community members or those who are ready to engage for the first time. We value every opportunity to strengthen the connections that will help us in building community.
