As a trivial example, a mission statement might be "Give away 500 free meals a week", while a vision statement would be along the lines of "End hunger in our city". One explains how you're going to get there, and the other explains where you're going. I only know this because I've been trying to work on the vision statement, and keep writing "how to get there" statements instead :-( -- Jared Smith Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
