Our Culture and Values
Our company is guided by several core principles that direct our interactions with members and with each other. Referenced often and easily discernible in everyday conversation among colleagues and in service to members, these values define and differentiate our culture. Central among these guiding principles are Spirit of Generosity, Team Engagement, Constant Growth, Power of Language, and Servant's Heart. These principles are central to our corporate culture and integral to our future success.
Spirit of Generosity
To forge relationships beyond the merely commercial; to provide our services in unlimited amount, and to reinforce that spirit in every encounter.
Team Engagement
The recognition that collegial forums bringing together specialized expertise are superior to traditional hierarchies for analysis and decision making; that all constituencies benefit from a “place at the table,” and that we are thereby strengthened.
Constant Growth
To create an environment of ever-expanding horizons; to grow the enterprise and, in so doing, to provide our employees with continuous opportunities for growth, year after year.
The Power of Language
As a teaching enterprise, our product relies heavily upon written and verbal communication—the Power of Language is the belief that "words matter," and that we can do immense good or immense harm with our words; that the greatest care should be taken in our communications with our members and with each other to strive for precision, acuity, and grace.
Servant's Heart
To serve members, each other, and our communities beyond expectation and with appreciation; to bring honest joy to service, both inside the workplace and out.
As part of our commitment to a Servant’s Heart, the Advisory Board hopes to establish a lifelong habit of service among its employees. Working with our internal foundation, staff are paired with nonprofit organizations throughout the community.
