Declaration of Shared Values
We, as a Tompkins County
Organization, understand:
The culture of this community affects our children and families,
our employees, our customers, our business.
We benefit when others succeed.
We must be engaged.
We reaffirm that we will:
Actively promote conversations around shared values that celebrate
inclusiveness, excellence, interdependence and generosity.
Commit to collaboration with others to create
and sustain a climate of tolerance and respect.
Continue to develop and implement organizational policies and practices
that mirror our communities’ assets and opportunities.
Therefore, we recommit our organization to be fully engaged
in building a community where hope is encouraged,
and equity is the norm.
