Mission, Vision, and Values
Over the last year, the Professional Staff Organization worked on developing the mission, vision, and values statements for the organization. The statements say who we are, what we do, our goals and aspirations, and how we focus our efforts. The mission and vision statements will help guide us in future years and our values will guide how we do our work.
