Our Principals

  • coordination among agencies and levels of government,
  • adequate financing,
  • effective enforcement,
  • well defined channels for citizen input and review

Our Values

We believe in:

  • respect for individuals,
  • the value of diversity,
  • the empowerment of the grassroots, both within the League and in communities,
  • the power of collective decision making for the common good
