In January 2023, a sub-committee of the Edmonds Petanque Club Board met to reconsider the club’s existing mission statement, which had been in place since the club’s founding in 2011.
After a drafting and revision process, the Board voted unanimously to adopt the new mission statement, which appears below. Central to this process was the desire to articulate the fundamental, positive purpose of the club as directly as possible, and to support the new mission statement with a vision statement and set of guiding principles that will allow the club to accomplish its goal.
The Board invites you to read and consider the new mission and vision statements and the club’s guiding principles. Please share any thoughts you may have with the Board by sending a note to edmondspetanque@gmail.com.
