Work for the League

Care and respect come first. We value and respect people, perspectives, and experiences because respect is the gateway to all our norms. In respecting our staff, members, and all stakeholders we create an environment in which we create a work-life balance paired with high expectations and the assumption of good will.
We pursue honesty and transparency. We pursue open, honest and transparent relationships in our organization where we listen to understand, question with respect and deliver transparent decisions to all stakeholders. We are constructive in our conversations, and pursue honesty without defensiveness to hold each other accountable to our mission, vision, and commitments.
We seek to co-create and collaborate. We co-create and collaborate to include people, to improve our decisions, to value various perspectives, and to demonstrate the strength of our culture. We use the respect, honest and mission focus to improve our organizational outcomes and provide a basis for how we support final decisions and outcomes.
