Values

The Tompkins County Legislature formally adopted organizational values on February 26, 2021.

Integrity - We commit to honesty and uncompromising adherence to the Tompkins County Code of Ethics.

Accountability - We hold the organization and each other responsible for decisions that affect the public and our employees in pursuit of excellence.

Equity - We sustain a workplace community that ensures fairness through diversity and inclusion, eliminates structurally oppressive systems, and builds trust, appreciation, and opportunities for all.

Respect - We embrace a safe and inclusive culture and treat others with dignity, understanding, and compassion.

The Values logo is now prominently placed on the Tompkins County website and has been shared throughout the organization. For downloadable files of the values logo, visit our Tompkins County Brand Guidelines page.
