Mission+Statement

Once you have clarified your beliefs, build on them to define your mission statement which is a statement of purpose and function. Here is an example mission statement: "By providing quality education, we empower individuals to become caring, competent, responsible citizens who value education as a lifelong process."
 * Your mission statement draws on your belief statements.
 * Your mission statement must be future oriented and portray your organization as it will be, as if it already exists.
 * Your mission statement must focus on one common purpose.
 * Your mission statement must be specific to the organization, not generic.
 * Your mission statement must be a short statement, not more than one or two sentences.
