Vision A world in which generation Y and Z professionals are empowered with the ambition and interpersonal communication skills to be innovative business and government leaders. We will continue to learn and grow professionally, find balance, and do meaningful work that makes a difference!
Mission We are a grassroots group of young students and professionals who help empower each other through the college-to-career transition and beyond, serve as a support network, offer opportunities for leadership and coaching, and provide a platform for continued learning about career development and achievement of success.
Values Each member commits to the following guiding principles:
Harmony. You bring your enthusiasm for success to the table in order to cooperate in a spirit of harmony, confidentiality, and mutual respect.We don't dominate; we share time. Complaining and negating anyone else's ideas is not productive. Instead we constantly seek constructive, win-win solutions. This is a mutually-supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can bounce ideas off of the group and get valuable feedback from people who want to see you succeed.
Responsibility. You have an important contribution to make, and will therefore share in group ownership and take a share of leadership responsibilities. Through sharing these responsibilities, we will gain increased self-mastery and leadership skills as we support and coach each other.
Collaboration. Through group synergy we make more happen in two hours than we could accomplish alone, because we all agree to putting focus and energy into the cause of learning and teaching through engaging informal presentations, group discussions, hands-on exercises, and more. Your participation and ideas are welcome and necessary.
Ambition. We value aggressive goal-setting, and your chances of reaching your goals will be dramatically increased, as the group will brainstorm solutions and next actions to help you tackle challenges. The group will hold you accountable to your goals and help cheer you on to great accomplishment.
Building lasting relationships. You will have the support and encouragement of a network of people to help move your career and personal projects forward. Your strong network will always be a key to your individual success, and we plan to help you build connections that will last for years to come. You must invest yourself in other members of the group and be willing to leverage your personal resources to benefit the group. The only way to add value in a relationship is to know what your partners consider valuable and make regular deposits to the relationship bank account.
