		<description>Cool site.  And very helpful comments.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here&#039;s some un-invited advice because I can&#039;t help myself!  Take care to continue to ensure your team enjoys shared clarity &amp; consensus on what you are truly trying to achieve, and that everyone takes personal responsibility for doing their specific part to ensure your mission and values are kept front and centre.  – They should become everyone&#039;s &#039;internal yardstick&#039; for doing the right thing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your opening statement is a great start, though, from my perspective you have mushed your Mission &amp; Values statement together with what I call your Core Strategies to pull off your Mission.  This isn&#039;t just a matter of &#039;strategy-speak&#039; jargon or semantics.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I fear you may find this &#039;mushing together&#039; of organizational concepts may make it difficult to help everyone  a) stay focused on mission (not sure what it is exactly), and b) figure out how to evaluate how you&#039;re doing – which helps you constantly improve as you go.  (You may count more and more readers and writers as a measure of success, but how will you know if your blog is bringing true value to the world?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, don&#039;t take my word for it, but just keep these thoughts in mind as you keep up the fabulous exploratory work... you are going to learn as much about organizing a social-profit collaborative effort as you are about the issues you write about.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wish I would have done something like this at your age... heh.  Even without a blogosphere!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the best –  Wendy Bradley</description>
