While a chunk of the day was spent on training in policy/procedures the most interesting section for me was led by Sarah when she unveiled our new mission and vision statement for the Farm.
Vision - To be an innovative and enjoyable museum within the Chicagoland area.
Mission - To promote an educational and memorable experience through programs and site visits that ignite the imagination, inspire our visitors, and preserve our local agricultural history.
I think this new mission and vision does a good job of telling people who we are and what we do. As the staff spends the rest of the winter working on new programs and events it will serve as a helpful reminder of our ultimate goal.
