Making Missions Matter

A mission statement can make quite an impression, so it is particularly important it is one you intend. A clear mission statement that makes sense can help people understand your purpose and inspire their involvement. It can also help drive decision-making. This session will define terms around an organization’s ideology (mission, vision, values), share perspective on the value of revisiting it sooner rather than later, offer ways to assess your mission statement and discuss the value of taking it a level further by crafting an intended impact for a defined period of time.
