We create systems to support people who care enough to fulfill
their callings. We attract and serve people who support our
mission of mutual improvement. We welcome members based on their
attitudes and abilities rather than their professional position or
social rank. Members consider us an excellent resource for
information, ideas and inspiration as well as for networking in a
positive environment.
We increase the opportunities for families, colleagues and
other friends to learn and grow together. We also serve people in
professional organizations who may not receive encouragement or
resources for training as part of their jobs. And, because many
organizations offer professional development opportunities with
people grouped by hierarchy of position, we support people in
positions at all levels to learn and improve together in
comfortable settings (from CEOs to secretaries…are welcome).
Our first priority rests with serving those within the general
public who care enough to decide to grow and demonstrate the
courage to try. Many more persons could lead more productive,
enriched lives if better systems existed to support them with
examples, education and encouragement. The main systems we
influence positively include: personal (individuals), social
(families and friends), educational (colleges and schools),
professional (places of work) and spiritual (centers of worship).
We serve parents, as well as others who raise children through
agencies or other structures. The process of learning and applying
the principles and practices of leading one's life and
contributing to a greater good start in the home, whether in a
traditional or surrogate setting.
The educational systems affect the greatest number of persons
because virtually all persons experience at least part of K-12
education, and a significant number attend collegiate
institutions. Therefore, we serve as a resource and build
alliances with educational institutions. Collegiate institutions
come first because they affect most readily future teachers, who
can pass on principles and practices to children and others.
Professors and advisors integrate these principles into the
admissions process, orientation programs, advising and the
classroom. Our K-12 schools continue teaching the habits learned
in homes, which feed into colleges and professional organizations.
Empowerment for individuals and within organizations is taught
and improvement is supported through time and training resources
to improve organizational quality and individual performance and
fulfillment. We serve as a source of development for members to
enhance their effectiveness as mentors in their homes, places of
work, worship center or school. Spiritual organizations continue
to teach lessons emphasizing that we should do our best with the
talents given to us, great or small. They increase in stewardship
of their responsibility and capacity to help people discover their
gifts, talents, and callings and to use them.
