We created a family purpose statement for our governance
We created a family purpose statement for our governance: Foster a community that is connected and engaged, respects individual perspectives, and works together on shared goals. Facilitate communication within the family and between family and company. Represent the family in working with the board and management on projects of common interest. Nurture strong and effective leadership. Promote and provide continuing education among family, board, and management. Uphold our family's values.
