At the February 12, 2024 Regular Meeting of Mayor and Council, Woodstock's elected officials approved a resolution to formally adopt a mission and vision statement for the City of Woodstock, Georgia.
From January 12th to the 14th of 2024, Woodstock City Council along with members of the city's management team participated the annual retreat held this year in Greenville, South Carolina. At the retreat, elected officials and city staff participated in multiple strategic planning sessions to craft the statements included in the resolution.
Deputy City Manager Coty Thigpen said, "When Woodstock Chief Information Officer Katy Leggett and I led city leaders in a strategic planning process at our recent retreat, our goal was to come out of those sessions with a mission and vision statement as well as core values that we all agreed upon. We accomplished that in a very collaborative way which is true to the values of our organization."
The mission statement for the City of Woodstock is Building a city that feels like home. The vision is Boldly pursuing what's next to build a thriving community. The core values are Bold, Collaborative, and Authentic.
The motion passed four to zero with Council Members Brian Wolfe and Rob Usher absent from the meeting. Upon approval of the resolution, Mayor Michael Caldwell said, "Congratulations to the whole City of Woodstock team. We have a brand new mission and vision and I'm excited for what's next."
