  • Respect (We treat all people fairly, with dignity, with a focus on the building of bonds and trust)
  • Integrity (We work with everyone honestly, transparently, sincerely, consistently and reliably)
  • Accountability (We are committed to doing things right: having the right data, metrics, rules, policies, and procedures in place, and being held to those by our community)
  • Utility (We are committed in every engagement to providing and adding value to individuals, partners and communities)
  • Compassion (We lead by operating in every interaction with empathy, grace and loving-kindness as we seek the common good)
