United Way believes our mission and impact goals can only be fully achieved if pursued with shared values. Therefore, we place great emphasis on building and supporting a team who pursues this vision together by embodying our I.C.A.R.E. values.

Inclusion

Value and embrace diversity, equity and inclusion. Lean into discomfort. Be willing to challenge myself and others. Address misunderstandings and resolve disagreements. Speak up when people are being excluded.

Courage

Do the right thing, even when it's hard. Speak up and respectfully debate issues and propose solutions. Take measured risks; accept ambiguity, move forward without all of the details and welcome and initiate innovation. Admit, share and learn from my mistakes. Lean into discomfort, knowing that is where I grow.

Accountability

Trust and be trustworthy. Show up on time and prepared. Ensure mutually understood expectations. Set realistic timelines and follow-through. Do what I say I will do. Be responsive to the needs and requests of team members.

Respect

Be fully present, prepared and participatory. Value and embrace diversity and inclusion. Engage with humility and an open mind. Anticipate the needs of others. Consider input and close the loop with colleagues.

Excellence

Bring my "A" game everyday. Be persistent and flexible in the face of challenges. Aim high and expect to win. Be on board when the team makes a decision. Strive to bring out the best in everyone. Be passionate and take pride in my work. Consistently deliver quality results. Learn and improve continuously.
