3. Responsibility and Accountability: We take responsibility for our actions and decisions and are accountable to our stakeholders, members, and sponsors. We use our resources, including finances and time, carefully and effectively to advance our mission.
4. Inclusivity: We promote inclusion, diversity, and respectful behavior toward all participants. We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or bullying of any kind, and we provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming atmosphere for all.
5. Personal Development and Learning: We encourage personal development, learning, and growth for our members, coaches, and officials. We believe that learning opportunities contribute to the overall success of our members and organization.
