Our Mission Statement
The Durham Roundtable is firmly committed to undertaking community initiatives through a process that is informed and includes broad-based support. As such, the Roundtable's process is based on our beliefs that:
- A successful community initiative requires that a clear vision be created and communicated widely.
- Informed, committed and broad-based community leaders must lead efforts.
- Community-based initiatives should do more than yield short-term results. They should also provide a focus for future policies and actions and create an expanded civic capacity as citizens learn how to deal with change more effectively.
- Local resources can be coordinated, leveraged by external resources, and maximized to achieve Durham's desired future.
