The Martindale I want to help us create:

• is authentically welcoming to all residents, new and “well seasoned” (old?)
• models professionalism and collegiality in all conversations and meetings
• is organized
• plans ahead
• shares information widely and through many pathways to reach as many residents as are interested
• works hard to get it right, but admits and apologizes when we fall short
• values the expertise of each resident and welcomes their input and assistance
• supports small, locally owned businesses
