GOVERNANCE BOARD SHARED PRINCIPLES

To improve the health of our community by working together with shared purpose and commitment. 

  • A collaborative community infrastructure is essential to focus all stakeholders on the shared vision of a healthy Ventura County. 
  • Our goal is to empathize with as many voices as we can, driven by diversity, community engagement, and positive communication. 
  • We will use data and proven practices to drive our decisions, not just instincts, intuition or ‘the way we’ve always done it.'
  • Systems we create, or those we work to strengthen, must be easy to access and even easier to navigate. 
  • We are committed to health equity across all neighborhoods and zip codes. 
  • We will focus on outcomes more than process. 
  • We will contribute to changes in policy, environment, and systems for sustainable change. 
  • We will do the work that is ‘right,’ not the work that is driven by grants or funding sources.
