I read an interesting article about the difference between vision and mission statements. A vision is something you want to accomplish. It may be a goal or a series of goals. A mission statement is why you want to accomplish it.

What's your mission?  Is it to provide the best support for researchers possible? To educate people as to the value of research and its outcomes?is it something else? I think hearing what people think their mission is could be something we all could learn from. Are you willing to share yours?

Here's ours. To deliver the best, most affordable solutions to support research administration.

P.S. This was inspired by the fantastic information provided by folks related to what research administrators do. I haven't seen any surprises in the lists so far but seeing it all and compiling it into a SINGLE LIST really makes the case for how daunting it truly is!

Best regards,
Chris
