Community
We all work together in partnership, from the ground up, leveraging strengths and opportunities to maximize return on investments in each community.

There has to be mutual trust for this to work; trust from the community that we will do right by them; and trust from us that they will do good by their word.
Entrepreneurship
There is a strong basis for action. Innovation and moderate risk-taking are valued. We approach each opportunity with a grittiness and determination that is unique to our culture.
