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 />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.
