Leadership Moving Forward Together

Values

    • Organizational Grace: No one knows everything. We all make mistakes. We call Mustangs into a deeper conversation rather than cancel them out of the community.
    • Cultural Education: Cultural knowledge is an essential element of human and organizational survival. Differences in race, gender, generation, sexuality, religion, ability, class, or political ideology do not weaken us, they enable a stronger èßäÊÓƵapp to grow and thrive.

    • Elevating Together: Inviting new voices and ideas into the conversation with respect and openness. Cultivating connections to move forward as world changers.
