Vision & Mission Statements

Vision Statement “The dream—how your community will be when all the outcomes are met.” Your long term fantasy for a perfect community

Vision Statement Example: The vision for Utopia Alliance is a healthy, vibrant community, free of misuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Mission Statement • What the Alliance’s role is in making the vision a reality. Example: The Mission of the Utopia Alliance is to transform the Township of Utopia into a community that nurtures youth and families by engaging residents in the process of ongoing community problem solving to reduce substance abuse.

Difference between Vision & Mission While the Vision is a dream, the Mission is more concrete and action oriented.
