Through this mission our vision is...
To play an integral role in developing our next generation of leaders throughout Minnesota, the United States, and where and when appropriate, throughout the world.
We see our next generation of leaders becoming more physically fit, emotionally resilient, mentally skilled, philosophically grounded, and spiritually centered. This commitment first begins with self-mastery and then extends into broader human systems including: interpersonal, team, organization, civic/community, and beyond—the development of the Global Citizen.
By supporting (directly and indirectly) institutions and programs that share this mission and vision, we seek to develop our next generation of high performing leaders who will influence our state, our country, and our world for good and the betterment of humanity in every conceivable personal, professional, and civic “Meaningful Life Arena.”
