We believe...

• We believe in treating ourselves, each other, and our diverse community with respect.  This includes asking questions to better understand why things are being done as they are prior to problem-solving, understanding that other people have their own goals that will intersect with ours and working to facilitate this when possible and being inclusive in a practical manner.  We also strive for courtesy and compassion in our behaviors where applicable.
• We believe in accepting all diverse geek communities.
• We believe in providing a culture of enjoyment of our shared genre interest.  We'd like you to have fun in your fandom!
• We believe our community service is delivered with a willingness to listen, a problem-solving attitude and the ability to stay within our remit of hosting a Worldcon.
• We believe in being open-minded and sparing of judgment.
• We believe in taking risks, learning from our experiences and responding to communications in a timely fashion.
• We believe in being patient and honest.
• We believe in encouraging some innovations while staying within WSFS bylaws.
• We believe our actions should inspire volunteerism, confidence, and creativity.

Regarding our staffing...

We understand that there are some questions regarding some of our staff and committee members. We believe in redemption and the ability to atone. All of these people recognize their past errors, and are committed to doing better and serving fandom and our community. Circumstances differ in each case, and safeguards have been employed, but we are willing to allow them to make reparations to the best of their abilities.
