Commitment: I will be fully committed to the transformative process of myself, through the efforts of this organization.

Integrity: I will do the “right thing” even when there is no one looking, and no praise to be given.

Self-Accountability: I will be accountable for my own actions, mistakes, and missteps; “actions without blame.”

Compassion/Empathy: I will be compassionate toward others, no matter their circumstances.

Excellence: I will achieve, approach, and perform at the highest level, according to my talents, gifts, and knowledge.

Innovative: I will be visionary, creative, and think “out of the box;” neglecting methods of thought and practice that are not effective, or impactful.
