Learning Forward’s board of trustees has adopted new vision and mission statements to address a broader audience, make powerful statements about why professional learning is so important, and provide sufficient clarity about the work of the organization. The new statements are the result of months of discussions among Learning Forward staff and board members. “We’re hopeful that these statements will speak to members past, current, and future as a compelling aspiration for what we all strive to achieve,” says Executive Director Stephanie Hirsh. “In the near future, we will be writing more about what the vision and mission mean for us as an organization, how they may influence our work, and the connection between the mission and vision and our beliefs and priorities.”
