Our vision is to make Jacksonville a world-class destination of choice.
Our Values
The Civic Council was established to provide leadership on issues critical to the community’s long-term success. Although the organization’s structure, priorities and approach to addressing issues may change over time, the following values consistently guide us.
Collaboration
We work together, and with other community leaders and organizations, to move our city forward.
Leadership
We address critical needs and issues when no other organization has the capacity or the will to do so.
Focus
We employ an effective civic-leadership model that minimizes inefficiencies and focuses on a few critical priorities to solve issues affecting quality of life and economic competitiveness.
Broad Constituency
We seek solutions that will benefit residents and businesses at every level of our community.
Advocacy
We engage policy makers and stakeholders at the local, state and federal levels to achieve lasting policy change grounded in research and data.
Economic Opportunity
We strive to advance economic opportunity across race, gender, ethnic and geographic lines.
Transparency & Accountability
We apply knowledge, experience and research to reach measurable outcomes.
Accomplishments
We work collaboratively to achieve what some may consider “unreasonable” goals, and we celebrate the success of all contributors in achieving them.
