Promote EN Township’s INTEGRITY value

Guard EN Township’s RESPECT value

Build EN Township’s REPUTATION
– It is not enough to act consistent with our operating principles. We must be seen as being consistent if we hope to earn the confidence of the whole community.
– We will strive to be known as the best township government, based on what the community says about its township and what our employees say about their workplace.
– The reputation is built by the small, daily acts of each employee in how we treat citizens and how we treat each other.
