We Have A Name, and More!

This morning, the interim working group chalked up two major accomplishments; creating the name of what this new organization will be called and approving a mission statement. A number of other organizational issues were addressed, such as reviewing existing bylaws of several "main street" organizations, articles of incorporation, budgets, and so on.

The Carlsbad Village Improvement Partnership - Carlsbad VIP - is a name that caught the imagination and excitement of all. Can you imagine the marketing and promotional fun that can be had by using, VIP? Having a great name is important, and we believe the name selected absolutely captures the essence of what we are working to achieve.

Crafting a mission statement can often take hours, but in the case of this morning's meeting, we had it completed and approved, even with discussion, in record time! So, here's the mission statement for the Carlsbad Village Improvement Partnership: "We are committed to creating a vibrant coastal village through collaborative actions that enhance the vitality of our businesses, welcome visitors, sustain the health of our residential neighborhoods, and promote a safe and cohesive community."

The interim working group will meet again, May 31st.
