Local stories, told honestly, so our region feels connected. Here is what guides our work and where we are headed through 2029.
Approved by our board in July 2026, these goals shape how we spend our time, who we partner with, and how we measure impact.
Over the next three years, more purpose-driven organizations will work with HUDSY and walk away with stories and a clear use plan that help them elevate their mission, raise money, and increase engagement. This matters now because staff and financial capacity for marketing, and securing funding for programming, are increasingly more challenging. Organizations need compelling messaging and trackable proof of why they should receive support.
Over the next three years, regional economic development and major employers will treat HUDSY as a trusted partner that helps make the Hudson Valley a place people want to live, work, discover, and invest. This matters now because it unlocks new funding streams and partnerships while keeping the money and momentum put right back into the community.
Over the next three years, HUDSY’s team will work with clear lanes and real ownership, so people can deliver great work. This matters now because the work is moving fast, and clarity, communication, and mission alignment are what keep the team healthy and HUDSY effective.
Agreed upon by our team and board, these three values are the foundation of everything we do.
We are all interconnected. We take ownership of our part and build trust through our actions.
We are more powerful and impactful when we work together, trust each other’s expertise, and work toward a shared goal.
We act with honesty, care, and consistency, with each other and with our community.
These shape how we put Accountability, Collaboration, and Integrity into practice.
We work with our community, not in competition with it.
We create a culture where people are respected, welcomed, and able to show up authentically and with empathy.
We break down barriers, build trust, lift each other up, and bring people together.
We stay true to who HUDSY is and the mission we’re here to serve.
