RAEDA Core Values
1. TRANSPARENCY
It is important to be open and transparent about the focus of the RAEDA and show the community our goals and focus areas.
4. OPEN MINDED
Out of the box thinking and consideration of all possible options to drive positive change
2. REALISTIC
We are a bedroom community, and we must embrace it and be realistic about what we can and should do to make us unique from the larger communities.
5. POSITIVE ATTITUDE
Focus on what we can control vs what we cannot. Identify the positive aspects and work through the challenges.
3. OUTCOME DRIVEN
The outcome of the goals and impact we want to make should be values based and clearly stated to ensure they are SMART (Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Tangible)
6. RESPECT
Everyone comes from different backgrounds and experience. We will not always agree but we will respect all points of view.
7. RELIABLE
We are grateful for our volunteers that create positive impact for important community outcomes; being reliable to supporting them is critical.
