Family Policy Institute Behaviors
FAMILY POLICY INSTITUTE OF WASHINGTON BEHAVIORS
Value People: We believe that each person has inherent value. Therefore, we believe the way we talk, write, and think about other people should reflect their intrinsic worth and value, regardless of philosophical, religious, or ideological disagreements.
· Be Positive: We believe we live in the greatest nation on earth. We believe that as Americans we enjoy freedom, prosperity, and blessings that are unmatched in the human experience. While we will fight vigorously for the things we hold dear, we will conduct ourselves in a way that reflects the gratitude we hold for the unmerited favor we enjoy as Americans.
· Be Professional: We believe that excellence is crucial to effectiveness. We believe our conduct, our speech, and any work product should be professional and are committed to ensuring that everything we do meets the highest standards of professionalism.
· Be Thoughtful: Personal, emotional issues should be dealt with in a considerate and thoughtful way. We believe it is the prerogative of every American, including those who disagree with us, to defend what they believe to be true. We do not believe anyone is obligated to agree with us. Therefore, as we endeavor to persuade others of the rightness of our cause, we are committed to focus our discussion on ideas, not people.
