At the 2012 SEOPCO annual meeting, the Board of Director’s adopted a new mission statement and set of cultural beliefs to guide the organization’s work as it heads into the its tenth year. This new language creates a strong foundation for the activities and issues that SEOPCO will engage in over the next several years. We are excited to have this updated vision in place and will regularly draw on this set of values as we look to make South East Oak Park all that it can be!
