The mission of Thrive is grounded in people, and guided by collaborative leadership principles.

Our Core Values:

Stewardship

Good stewardship drives our organization. We are trusted stewards of time, financial and human resources, and the region’s natural and cultural resources.

Relationship-Building

The people of this region are at the core of work. We recognize that progress moves at the speed of trust, and trust is built when collaborative solutions are designed around the voices of the people we serve. We prioritize relationship-building and listening to the voices of our region as a critical foundation of our work.

Inclusiveness

We include, embrace, and honor the cross-cultural diversity of our region and continually work to foster an environment that respects diverse traditions, heritages, and experiences throughout our entire 16-county region.

Results-Oriented

Our focus is on achieving measurable outcomes based on clear, strategic goals that align with our mission and purpose, rather than the appearance of results.

Quality

The quality of our work reflects the quality of our organization and the region’s aspirations.

Knowledge-driven

Our work product encompasses the strength in which we build knowledge. We invest in the knowledge growth of our staff, volunteers, and general public of the ti-state region.
