Section 3: Values

The values statement highlights an organization’s core principles and philosophical ideals. It is used to both inform and guide the decisions and behaviors of the people inside the organization and signal to external stakeholders what’s important to the company. An organization’s core values shape daily culture and establish standards of conduct against which actions and decisions can be assessed.

• Transparency (open source everything, conversations in public, document and share journey)

• Diversity and Inclusion (seek to foster as diverse a membership as possible and support everyone to contribute)

• Responsibility (as a self-governed community we rely on members to be personally responsible for their actions and commitments to the community)

• Kindness and empathy (we know that we are living in a complex, stressful, and diverse world and go out of our way to make people’s lives and days better through our interactions)
