Care passionately about Southlake
Take great pride in Southlake’s achievements, programs and services. Learn about Southlake and take care to positively represent the organization and its people at every opportunity. Always act in the best interests of Southlake. Realize that we exist to advance Southlake’s mission and our success is interdependent.

Act with integrity and inspire trust
Always tell the truth. Communicate openly. We keep our promises. If we say we’ll do something, we do it, and if we can’t, we explain why. Do not abuse the Foundation’s trust.
We each take responsibility for our attitude, decisions and actions.

Pursue excellence
Set bold goals and strive for breakthrough change. Seek new and better ways of doing things. Move quickly into action after wise planning. We must be moving forward to achieve maximum results. Be open to new ideas and don’t be afraid to seek out new and rewarding challenges. Take calculated risks yet be the first to recognize when they are not right for the Foundation and learn from the experience.

Earn and give respect
Respect is essential. Earn the respect of our donors and volunteers. Respect their wishes. Ensure we use all resources responsibly and for the purposes for which they were given. Respect each other for who we are. Treat everyone with dignity and in a professional manner. Cherish diversity. And last but not least - respect yourself. We strive for healthy, well-rounded employees who successfully combine work, family and recreation.

 Nurture strong relationships
Strong relationships are pivotal to our success. Keep a personal touch in everything we do. Nurture relationships with our stakeholders and partners by listening to what they say and doing our best to meet their needs. When asking for something we are clear about what we want and our expectations. Remain flexible and open-minded. Don’t be shy about saying ‘thank you’ or ‘I’m sorry’.

Work together

Everyone’s work is important. Seek, value and recognize each other’s contributions and expertise because on this team, each of us plays an important role. Give and take. Stand by one another and pull together through good times and bad. In doing so, realize we can accomplish just about anything.
