We believe that all voices and all perspectives matter, which is an ideal made implicit with the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787. Although composed of many voices, “We Are One” people, one nation, one planet…
As we prepare for the nation’s 250th anniversary, “We Are One” will serve as our organization’s motto, thematically support programs and events, and guide our relationship-building strategy. “We Are One” finds expression in four interrelated organizatonal initiatives.
