Values

Ruth Mott’s values inspire us to:

• Cultivate trust. We cultivate trust first through kindness, respect, and empathy. We build lasting relationships in community by being inclusive, accountable, and learning from each other.

• Promote civic engagement. We promote civic engagement for a vibrant and inclusive Flint. Commitment of time, talent, and treasure builds responsibility, creative problem solving, and a stronger community.
• Commit to the long term. We commit to the long term by devoting our time and resources with advocacy and courage to build a vibrant and inclusive Flint. We will evolve, grow, and adapt alongside our community.
