Scenario Sun City Boards founder Tom Wilson is a laid-back West Coast surfer who subscribes to Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinards let my people go surfing sentiment. After meeting with Tom, you have coached Tom to a realization of his original vision and mission for Sun City Boards: To set people free from the earth . . . free to ride the waves. As you learned in this module, there are three foundational statements: Mission, Vision and Values. Toms original vision serves as a great starting point for a values statement.

For Discussion As preparation for this discussion, read Patagonias Core Values and reflect on the clarity that this type of commitment brings to planning and operational decisions. Reflect on what you learned in this module and propose a statement of values for Sun City Boards that is consistent with Toms stated vision and mission.
