Values and Conduct
Values Statement
We believe in providing high-quality education, technical leadership and service for our members and others. We remain true to our mission and vision. We act in a manner that is objective, fair, and respectful.
Diversity
GRA embraces diversity and is actively creating and promoting an environment that is inclusive of all people and their unique abilities, strengths and differences.
As we continue to grow, we embrace diversity in every aspect of our organization, from the way we work together to the way we fulfill our mission. We respect diversity in each other, our members and all others with whom we interact. We are working toward full equity, inclusion and accessibility for all who interact with GRA.
How we communicate
- Directors commit to responsive and attentive listening.
- Directors commit to productive and non-aggressive communication, and to avoiding double-talk, hidden agendas, gossip and other negative forms of interaction.
- Directors commit themselves to focusing on issues, not personalities. The free expression of opinions should be encouraged.
- Differing viewpoints are healthy in the decision-making process; individuals have the right to respectfully disagree with ideas and opinions.
- When the Board of Directors makes a decision, Director communications to GRA leadership, members and others must be consistent with that decision.
