If nobody has qualms about the mission statement, then let's go ahead and keep it. But I have a couple problems with it. After thinking about the phrase "EnAct Network" I came to this: People are probably going to ask "Ok, so that's what the so-called 'EnAct Network' does, but what does 'EnAct' actually do?" It's like we're writing a mission statement for a group that does, but doesn't exist. Yes, I'm devil's advocate, but these are things to think about. Secondly, the larger phrase "The EnAct Network provides resources..." is an awkward lead-in for the rest of the sentence. Provides resources for what? The connection to "a sustainable future" doesn't seem adequate enough. Sure, we know what it means but it should be as clear as possible for everyone else. If you think this a load of garbage, let me know and we'll stick to what we have. Good night, good luck. Much love, Adam
Sorry- posted comments without a solution. I'm cutting it down to this: "EnAct empowers the campus community to take action toward a sustainable future." We can mention the resources we provide in the guiding principles. I don't see the word 'resources' having the best fit with the rest of the sentence.
