We RESPECT the inherent dignity of every human being, serving all in need. We respect the conscience of each individual and do not discriminate. We work to build the common good and will not exploit a person, group or organization. We listen without judging and do not condemn others for their mistakes, but seek forgiveness for our own.
We conduct ourselves with INTEGRITY based on a commitment to personal accountability and a moral conviction to do the right thing. We respond to constructive change with a positive attitude and a willingness to learn. We prefer cooperation and teamwork to non-productive competition. We stand firm when necessary but exhibit strength by soliciting and implementing ideas from others.
We are STEWARDS, giving of ourselves and the resources for which we are accountable. We critically evaluate the commitment of resources, maintaining a careful balance between the need for fiscal stability and the MMC mission.
We demonstrate EXCELLENCE by providing quality services and continuously improving our knowledge, processes and skills. We promote life-long education. We establish challenging objectives, always searching for more effective and efficient ways to improve MMC. We assess the cost/benefit relationships of all programs, striving to anticipate the implications of major decisions on the short- and long-term effectiveness of our mission.
