In order for <br />any organization to be effective and maintain sustainable success, the organization must define <br />its organizational core purpose. This core purpose then becomes the basis for establishing the <br />criteria from which results and organization success are measured. Just as the economy, industry, <br />and community evolve and change, the organizational core purpose must also evolve and <br />change. The organization must establish and maintain a review process of their organizational <br />core purpose for sustainable success. <br /> <br />With this policy, the Commission commits that it will govern as a body in a manner consistent <br />with its adopted mission statement, vision statement, organizational values, and organizational <br />fundamentals. The Commission will also commit to govern as a body through policy <br />development and initiative prioritization which are in alignment with adopted planning themes. <br />The Commission acknowledges the importance for the development and support of the mission <br />statement, vision statement, organizational values, organizational fundamentals, and planning <br />themes to achieve the following: an environment of transparency; a clear line of sight from tasks <br />through goals; and a work environment for meaningful work providing value to the community. <br />The Commission also commits to engage in an ongoing review process of the organizations core <br />purpose, to maintain organizational effectiveness and sustainable success. <br /> <br />POLICY: <br /> <br />The Commission will adopt and maintain relevant and sustainable organization core purpose <br />documents including a mission statement, a vision statement, organizational values, <br />organizational fundamentals, and planning themes. The Commission will govern ERMU in a <br />manner consistent with these adopted documents outlining the organization’s core purpose.
