Now that we’ve covered the first element of Core Ideology (Purpose), let’s move on to the second element needed to formulate your association’s Core Ideology, Core Values.

Click on each definition of common values that organizations like to use.

REMEMBER!
If senior leaders don’t live the association’s Core Values, the values are useless. They have to be living examples. Once you allow someone to violate the values and stay with the association, you’re telling everyone that you were just kidding about the values, that they are nice to have but not necessary for your association to survive.
