Collective Rethink
- Making the world a better place starts at home.
- We are Chattanoogans who refuse to retreat into cynicism or passivity. Instead, we choose to be hopeful—and then work hard to bring our hope to reality.
- We know that the real world is not something that happens to us, or even around us. It is made up of what we believe and do.
- We love our city for what it could be, as well as for what it is.
- We believe that the expectations of our city can be reset, to achieve greatness.
- We value creativity not for its own sake, but because it is intimately bound up in the human.
- We believe that entrepreneurship, individual expression, interdependent partnerships, and cooperative relationships are key economic and cultural drivers.
- We promote neighborhood renewal, local businesses, and global technology.
- We want Chattanooga to be the best city in the world in which to live, work, and play.
- We like surveys. You can see the results of our summer 2007 survey here.
