2040 Community Core Values finalized
The 2040 Thriving Communities Initiative—a community-driven effort led by local leaders—culminated more than a year of extensive public outreach and engagement by finalizing the community’s Core Values in early February 2018.
They are as follows:
- Equity for Everyone: We appreciate the inherent value of each community member, honor differences, celebrate diversity, and foster inclusion.
- Health in all Actions: We recognize & will address the well-being of our people by including health considerations in all policies, practices, activities, and operations.
- Vibrant, Livable Communities: Vibrant, safe, & livable communities that promote creativity, forward-thinking, a sense of place, & high quality of life
- Supportive People & Resources: Welcoming communities that actively build social connections, personal interactions, & community resources that foster belonging
- High Quality Environment and Access: High environmental quality, conservation of natural resources, consideration of carrying capacity and easy access to the outdoors
- Diverse Economy that Fits: A diverse, robust economy that inspires & stimulates local business, entrepreneurship, innovation and opportunities
- Community Resilience: Communities & individuals are prepared to respond to and recover from natural & human caused threats, disasters and changes
“The Board of Commissioners expects to have the information necessary for adoption of these community values in the next 90 days,” said Annabelle Jaramillo, County Commissioner. “I am excited about the next step in our process. As an organization, we will use our communities’ Core Values as a lens to inform and guide our county government’s vision and strategic processes, and perform our public services.”
A Steering Committee composed of 2040 Thriving Communities Initiative Council members and County staff will begin meeting in March 2018 to operationalize and establish organizational efforts, key metrics and a work plan.

Se finalizaron los Valores fundamentales de la Comunidad para 2040
La Iniciativa 2040 Thriving Communities (Comunidades Prósperas para 2040), un esfuerzo impulsado por la comunidad y dirigido por líderes locales, culminó a principios de febrero de 2018, tras más de un año de actividades extensivas de proyección pública y participación, con la finalización de los Valores fundamentales de la comunidad.
Estos valores son los siguientes:
- Equidad para todos: Apreciamos el valor inherente de cada miembro de la comunidad, respetamos las diferencias, celebramos la diversidad y fomentamos la inclusión.
- Salud en todas las acciones: Reconocemos el bienestar de nuestra gente y lo atendemos al incluir consideraciones sanitarias en todas las políticas, prácticas, actividades y operaciones.
- Comunidades habitables y llenas de vida: Comunidades dinámicas y seguras, donde es agradable vivir y que promueven la creatividad, el pensamiento progresista, el sentido del lugar, y la alta calidad de vida.
- Gente solidaria y recursos de apoyo: Comunidades acogedoras, que desarrollan activamente conexiones sociales, interacciones personales, y recursos comunitarios que fomentan el espíritu de pertenencia.
- Entorno y acceso de alta calidad: Alta calidad medioambiental, conservación de los recursos naturales, consideración de la capacidad de sustentación y acceso fácil a los espacios al aire libre.
- Economía diversa que encaja bien: Una economía diversa y sólida, que inspira y estimula los negocios locales, el espíritu empresarial, la innovación y las oportunidades.
- Resistencia comunitaria: Las comunidades y las personas están preparadas para reaccionar y recuperarse en caso de amenazas, desastres y cambios naturales o causados por el hombre.
“La Junta de Comisionados anticipa tener la información necesaria para adoptar estos valores comunitarios en los próximos 90 días”, dijo said Annabelle Jaramillo, Comisionado del Condado. “Me hace mucha ilusión el próximo paso de nuestro proceso. Como organización, utilizaremos los Valores fundamentales de nuestras comunidades como prisma para difundir y guiar la visión y los procesos estratégicos del gobierno de nuestro condado y para prestar servicios públicos”.
Un Comité directivo, integrado por los miembros del Consejo de la Iniciativa 2040 Thriving Communities (Comunidades Prósperas para el 2040) y el personal del Condado, empezará a reunirse en marzo de 2018 para poner en funcionamiento y asentar los esfuerzos organizativos, los indicadores clave y un plan de trabajo.
