Vision:

Vision statements take the purpose of the mission statement and focus it on big objectives and aspirations of the group. This is done while looking into the future, and identifying the work the group plans to engage in. The vision explains the outcome the CCoT hopes to achieve. It describes what the CCoT team envisions 5-10 years in the future. A Vision provides clarity around the WHAT of the group.

The vision statement should explain what the goal of the CCoT team is. When creating the vision statement, the team will want to make sure that goal is measurable. Abstract visions and unrealistic visions can cause confusion and distrust when progress cannot be shown. The team will want to make sure the vision statement provides a sense that all are welcome and included.

Once the team has created the vision statement, make sure to share it with all members of the community. Let them know what the CCoT team is about! As the team progresses, keep track of progress towards achieving the vision and share those successes with the community, as well.
