Our Leaders
Our Values
We believe that by developing strong partnerships across our community, we can create a better Putnam County for all.
To do this, we uphold the following values:
Community
We believe a community is only as strong as the sense of belonging shared by its members. We strive to build active communities by bringing people together to celebrate and work toward our shared goals.
Responsibility
We believe that each of us bears responsibility for building strong communities. We make our communities better places to live, work, and play.
Sustainability
We value sustainability, because it compels us to consider past, present, and future generations. When we act sustainably, we demonstrate respect for everything provided by our planet and those who came before us. We show respect to all beings — human and non-human; and those who will come after us.
Collaboration
We believe in the power of collaboration. By actively working with other organizations, institutions, businesses and governments, we pool our skills, learn from others’ experience, and gain a broader perspective. Collaboration results in solutions that work for all.
