Eyeing a Vision Statement

Our community association is developing or revisiting its vision statement, which is an integral part of our strategic plan. We'd like your thoughts.

About Vision Statements in General

A good community vision (or mission) statement is a simple, clear and concise description of what is important to the community. It highlights major attributes. It increases volunteerism as members become engaged in carrying out objectives; this enhances relationships among residents, board members and staff as they work toward common goals.

About Our Vision Statement Specifically

Developing a proper vision statement takes time. A draft goes through a committee and the board before the statement is finalized. Then we revisit it periodically and, if necessary, revise accordingly.

Successful vision statements aren't developed in a vacuum-we need involvement and ownership from as many members as possible. So, please take a look at our vision statement. In your opinion, does it do a good job of describing what is important to the community? Does it highlight our major attributes? Think about what our community means to you and what makes you want to live here. If you have ideas or suggestions, let us know. We want you to be included in our vision.
