In Mayor Walsh's 2019 State of the City address, he spoke on the importance of having a “True North” – a vision for what a bright future looks like and objectives that all team members can work toward. Here, you can read our team's vision, mission, and values.
"For decades we have been losing population, losing jobs and, for some, losing faith in our collective future. To realize this vision of growth and prosperity, we are focused on executing four objectives:
We set these objectives because they epitomize government’s responsibility to have a meaningful and positive impact on our lives. There is a direct connection between the way we execute the daily business of managing this government, and the way each one of you experiences the city as a contributor to your own personal and family well-being. Whether your streets are plowed when you need to leave for work; whether your neighborhoods are well lit and safe for your children to play; whether you can turn on your faucet and know you are drinking clean and safe water. I’m proud to say we’ve made significant progress on these goals." --Mayor Ben Walsh
