TOWN OF GILBERT (ARIZONA)
COMMISSION ON HUMAN RELATIONS

The Town of Gilbert Commission on Human Relations requested a brief strategic planning process to assist Commission members in defining their vision and mission. In order to develop a common context for the planning activities to take place, Mary developed a survey for the Commission members. This helped them to define the internal strengths and weaknesses of the organization, and identify external opportunities and threats. The survey also assessed respondents' hopes and desires for the planning session.

Over the course of two meetings, Mary led the Commission in a process that culminated in the following vision and mission:

"The Vision of the Gilbert Commission on Human Relations is a safe and friendly town where residents share a strong sense of community, respect individual rights, and accept responsibility for the well-being of all. The Mission of the Gilbert Commission on Human Relations is to strengthen our quality of life by promoting opportunities for residents of Gilbert to respect, appreciate, and celebrate their rich diversity."
