We are in this mission together

We believe this because …

• We solve problems better through collaboration.
• We find joy, belonging, and connection in doing things together.
• We have to balance individual priorities with our shared collective responsibilities.

In practice, this means …

• I support my colleagues whenever I can, and ask for help whenever I need it.
• I help figure out the problem when I disagree with a proposal.
• I work towards real decisions, a shared agenda, and clear accountability.

We do great work and improve

We do this because …

• We have a huge responsibility as stewards of our mission.
• Success often comes through learning from failure.
• Our communities inspire both our work and the way we work.

In practice, this means …

• I share my work early, often, and respond to feedback.
• I strive for measurable progress towards our goals rather than for perfection.
• I invite playfulness and creativity at work where possible.

We welcome everyone who shares our Vision and Values

We believe this because …

• To build the sum of all knowledge, we need to embrace human diversity.
• Our differences are powerful and require nurturing.
• We do our best work when we understand different perspectives.

In practice, this means …

• I contribute to making spaces safe for people to express themselves.
• I recognize my own privilege and believe others about their lived experiences.
• I repair the harm that I cause and model accountability for myself and others.

We listen and share with curiosity

We do this because …

• People think and communicate in different ways.
• Curiosity and candor are how we learn to understand and trust each other.
• Assumptions and biases are at the root of most misunderstandings.

In practice, this means …

• I communicate honestly, clearly, and with empathy.
• I recognize the limits of my expertise and trust people closest to the problem.
• I approach unexpected information with humility and an open mind.
