- Practice self-awareness and openness to be responsive and respectful in communication with consumers, staff, outside organizations and the community.
- Develop strong collaboration and partnerships within the community to ensure we are responsive to the diversity and equity needs throughout the tri-county region.
- Continually monitor and evaluate our internal practices and policies to ensure we are culturally competent and provide an environment free from discrimination and harassment.
