Guiding Tenets
We believe if we care for our staff, customers, processes, and finances, we will be a healthy, proactive and effective organization. We will ensure important departmental decisions consider the following:
• Fiduciary Duty – Does this decision maximize long term financial returns from the endowment lands and provide for prudent management of state funds and resources?
• IDL Staff – Is this decision consistent with the development and retention of a high performing workforce that is cohesive and accountable?
• Customers – With this decision, are we providing exemplary service to our customers?
• Processes – Is the decision informed by data and consistent with our policies and procedures?
• Forward-looking – Is this decision preparing us for success in the future?
