Leadership Values


As those involved with Alignment Rockford collaborate in this important community endeavor, the following leadership values form the foundation for operational relationships:

1. We work with a spirit of unity – We agree to offer one voice on topics related to the alignment effort and to resolve conflicting agendas in committee.

2. Our relationships are based on trust – We understand that predictability, clear communication, and mutual support precede success in every challenging community endeavor.

3. Our focus is on our children’s needs – We seek collaborative, student-focused solutions to barriers which impair academic achievement.

4. We promote life-long learning – We know that raising educational aspirations and attainment will result in greater economic prosperity for all in our community.
