Mission

To improve the quality of life in the Benton Harbor community by empowering its citizens and strengthening its institutions.

 

Values

Our values influence, direct, and shape our operations and programs. These values are integral to our decision-making processes, in how we pursue and develop community partnerships, and in the prioritization of the projects we undertake. We hope that these values will guide us to the fulfillment of our goal and serve as examples for our community to emulate. 

 

Social Responsibility

The hardship of one individual, one business, or one institution has consequences on the community as a whole. We believe we have an obligation to address the problems faced by our friends, neighborhoods, and family members. These issues are shared by all and the impacts reverberate throughout the greater Southwest Michigan region. We will continue to invest in our community and share our commitment with those with whom we interact. Together, we will build a city that we can all be proud of. 

 

Civic Duty 

We believe in the ability of our community to identify, define, and address issues of public concern. We empower Benton Harbor's residents to better work together to make a difference in the civil life of our community.

 

Integrity

We maintain the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and integrity in every facet of our organization. We appreciate the role of accountability and personal responsibility in Advance Benton Harbor's development.

 

Leadership

Our organization is composed of those who have exhibited outstanding leadership abilities, fostering a creative, dynamic, and productive workforce.

 

Teamwork

We believe teamwork produces the best results. We work to produce a collaborative environment among our staff, as well as with those who become involved in our organization. We do not put personal interests or personal affiliations ahead of the interests of our community.
