iscussion #1: Mission or Vision StatementsSubscribe

Every organization has a mission or a purpose. A mission statement usually identifies:

• • the customers/clients the organization serves;
  • the products/services the organization provides; and
  • the underlying philosophy or values of the organization.

Locate the mission or vision statement for three or more organizations. At least one of the statements should be for an organization with which you are involved (e.g. your school, your employer, a charity). In many cases, you can find a mission statement on an organization's website.

Hint: Type the name of the organization + mission statement in the search box on a search engine such as Google.

1. Choose one mission statement and share it with your peers in the discussion area. Your response should include:
   1. the name of the organization,
   2. the mission or vision statement, and
   3. the source of your information (i.e. a citation).
   4. reason you believe that the chosen mission statement is a well written mission statement, and
2. Read the statements posted by your peers.
