our philosophy

People become involved in their communities and schools for two primary reasons -- to serve their fellow residents and to shape the future of their communities. Most are lay people who want to bring their best efforts and thinking to bear on issues affecting their communities.


Our philosophy is to empower them with the most (cost) effective processes and tools for framing the collective vision of their communities and for making sound, timely decisions that make that vision a reality. 


We believe that, with the right strategic framework, people can:

  • Ensure that all residents have a role in shaping a vision for the future.
  • Deliver excellent services while keeping taxes low (making governance a good value). 
  • Preserve all that is valued by residents.
  • Adopt ways of governing that best serve their communities and schools.


We believe that strategic governance delivers the greatest positive benefits for a sensible investment and empowers communities to quickly become self-sufficient in using strategic governance for the long term.
