PEOPLE are the most important Connect SI asset who volunteer and commit their time, talent and treasure to achieve SI goals
o Selection: Choice of leaders should be based upon active participation in achieving the CSI Strategy — LAC, COI, cluster & action team leadership should include a mix of styles, connections and influence (see RA Chp. slides 29-30)
o Training: Volunteers should be rewarded with yearly education and self-improvement programs — provides ROI for participation; enhances leadership effectiveness; and improves strategic outcomes
o Support: Leadership is a volunteer effort that requires staff support to achieve desired results — CSI staff needs to proactively engage leaders and fill initiative gaps as identified
o Motivation: Volunteer leaders’ efforts are fueled by recognition of their impact and accomplishments — CSI must regularly highlight leadership and community progress toward goals and celebrate short-term wins
o Focus: CSI staff assist leaders in consistently reinforcing strategic direction, current status, and immediate tasks at hand — maintaining focus yields better results
CSI Leaders, volunteers & staff must function as true catalysts — stimulating the transformation of SI’s economy —

Southern Illinois is the global location where inter-generation active lifestyle families, visitors & KBE workers choose to live work and play — growth abounds
SI’s historic liability of remoteness and lack of access becomes an asset; instead of forgotten by Chicago, Springfield and Washington, SI is a land and lifestyle treasured, respected, sought after and envied — there is only one SI in the World
SI communities see themselves in a new light; they are respectful of their place; they see themselves as gateways to a land that is "The Garden of The Gods"
Tourism venues, town centers,rural lands, business locations and neighborhoods all demonstrate by their look and feel that SI is a very special place to be preserved and enhanced for all time
SI is a place of welcome for people of all cultures whether visiting or living here; in the land of "The Garden of the Gods” all are welcome and of value
It is a place many want to be, but only the fortunate choose to take advantage of this unique opportunity; SI becomes a place that is worth a premium, rather than one that feels it must offer a discount to be desired
