Dream Bigger Dreams! "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." -Michelangelo "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult." -Marcus Annaeus Seneca
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live a life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." -Henry David Thoreau
"I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want." -Mark Twain

Values StatementBoards face values-based dilemmas at the board table all the time:
•Are there groups from whom it is not ok to accept donations?
•When a board member betrays a confidential matter, what should we do?
•If our organization survives for year-to-year, but the community is no different, is that OK? Why or why not? •If our organization experienced tight budget times, would we sacrifice: program quality; number of programs; none of the above? •When is it OK to cut corners?

We believe:
•Leadership can be learned – every individual has the opportunity to exercises leadership and the ability to grow his or her leadership skills.
•Leadership is a shared process exercised collectively by groups of people.
•Smart people are not enough. What truly matters are the relationships between the people you have. How well they work together defines what they can accomplish together.

Quote From Anthony RobbinsThe truth of the matter is that there's nothing you can't accomplish if: (1) You clearly decide what it is that you're absolutely committed to achieving, (2) You're willing to take massive action, (3) You notice what's working or not, and (4) You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want, using whatever life gives you along the way. -Anthony Robbins American Author, Speaker, Peak- Performance Expert/Consultant
