Mission, Vision, and Values

In 2021, LCD developed its new Mission, Vision, and Values through a stakeholder-driven, six-month process that is integral to an organization.

LCD is thrilled to partner with you to work out our mission, vision, and values in every aspect of our work. From decision-making to services received, our goal is to do this together through community engagement and collaboration (view the closing statement in ASL).
