Fair and Efficient Leadership 
What does this mean?

It is important to us that our leaders consider the social needs of our community as well as the need for a businesslike approach. We want them to work together towards the future and to communicate in ways we understand along the way.

What do we want to see?  

  • Leadership that is visionary, community focused, efficient and representative.
  • Leaders have a social conscience. 
  • Community leaders are efficient, fair and businesslike.
  • Leaders understand and work towards the "big picture".
  • Leaders who are non-partisan and able to work with others for a common purpose.
  • Community representatives who are honest and open communication that is easily understood.

How will we achieve this?

We will have positive involvement in the day to day affairs of our community and encourage and support those leaders who show the attributes and values described above.
