As transition has occurred from the leadership of Dennis McMillian to Laurie Wolf, we at Foraker – both board and staff – have remained grounded in our founding purpose and values. We are in a solid place because we know who we are and what we want to accomplish.

To honor our tradition and celebrate the gifts that Dennis McMillian brought as a founder, we have inscribed what our values mean to us on the wall of the hallway in the Foraker office. This hallway connects our training room with our boardroom and will serve as a constant reminder that the decisions we make in our board and staff meetings will have a lasting impact on the interactions we have with each of you.

Please see the photos below of the Foraker “values wall.” And if you come to the office, walk through the hallway. We hope you’ll be as inspired as we are when you see it. For us, the wall is the physical statement of the way we do our business. Each panel highlights a core value – sustainability, strategic, collaboration, urban/rural/Native/non-Native.

Thanks, Dennis, for instilling those values in us and guiding us to live by them every day.
