Office of the County Counsel - Core Values

Integrity and Justice

We serve with integrity as our foundation and justice as our focus.  We work courageously, strategically, and ethically to advance the County’s mission.

Continuous Learning

We foster a supportive space to grow as professionals and human beings.  We treat all our experiences—including setbacks and new challenges—as opportunities to adapt and improve as individuals and as an organization. We believe in mentoring and teaching one another to cultivate our collective development.

Positive Engagement

We celebrate solution-oriented engagement in the ever-evolving project of creating a better workplace, both within our Office and for our colleagues in the County.  We engage with compassion, respect, trust, and kindness with the aim of achieving a fulfilling and uplifting work environment.

Diversity, Equity, and Belonging

We are committed to strengthening our team by bringing together people and perspectives that cultivate a dynamic workplace with a culture of acceptance.  We believe that our actions should reflect this commitment and facilitate decision-making that strives to address historical patterns of systemic discrimination and inequity.

Holistic Service and Stewardship

We are counselors and public servants in the fullest sense—we take a comprehensive, context-sensitive approach to solving problems and advancing the County’s mission through a deep understanding of the County’s business and empathetic awareness of impacts to the community.
