Polk Vision is governed by a Board of
Directors which oversees the Operating
Board in its leadership of Teams working
collaboratively on a range of complex
issues in six foundational areas of focus.
PRINCIPLES
These principles ensure our work is targeting
systemic change or new ways of aligning resources
to address underlying causes. Systemic change
occurs when an outcome or goal has been attained.
This achievement is either through the elimination
of the problem or through permanently aligning
programs, policies, funding streams or services to
reduce the impact of the problem on a long term
basis.
Polk Vision strives to:
• Align and engage all stakeholders throughout
the county with strategies in six foundational
areas of focus: Education, Economic
Development, Infrastructure, Government,
Quality of Life and Civic Engagement.
• Cultivate an environment of mutual trust and
collaboration while working with transparency
and a high level of accountability.
• Unify initiatives across the county through a
comprehensive, collaborative, multi-faceted
process that is recognized as generational;
requiring significant time to achieve change
and maximum impact.
