Mission Statement

Mission Statement • The mission statement describes the district's "reason for being" • It should reflect our idealistic motivations for doing work at the district • It doesn't necessarily need to describe the district's output, but it should capture the "soul" of the district, making our work meaningful

Mission Statement • Why are we here? • What is our purpose? • Whereas an organization might achieve a goal or complete a strategy, we will take the perspective that a mission is pursued, but never achieved • The mission should last a long time (perhaps 100 years) • Although the mission may never change, the mission should inspire change
