Vision, Mission & Values in NFP Spaces

Why is Vision important for NPO’s 

 Vision, Mission and Values 

  • People get into the NPO space usually for one or two reasons: 

• We are connected to what they do. 
• We want to make a difference. 

  • But how do we as leaders of NPO’s create alignment, cast a vision for the future, and rally people behind a common purpose? 
  • This is where a Vision, Mission and Core Values come into play. 
  • In this session we will explore: 
  • Who does this process? 
  • What is a Vision statement? 
  • What is a Mission statement? 
  • What are values but especially core values? 
  • How do we create them? 
  • Finally how will these statements create Clarity, Continuity, and Comradery in your organization  

Board Policy Manual for NPO’s: 

We finalized this process about 6 months ago with the Board and myself as the ED and I found this to be a game changer for all levels of our organization. It has created so much clarity overall and especially for the board but also board/Ed relations. 

  • What is it? 
  • Why is it important?
  • What are the outcomes of creating one? 
  • How does it benefit the organization? 
  • How does it create clarity? 
  • The benefits for the ED/CEO and board relations
