In building Headwaters Foundation from the ground up, Brenda Solorzano led with the premise that values should shape strategy. “It’s so easy to check values off the to-do list and forget that they can be used to remind us about how we want to work together as well as what we do. Rather than thinking about a values statement as a problem to solve and move on, I make it about intentionality around the culture we are trying to build.”
