The FP AC is a group of peers-no single member has more standing or power than another. 4. Respect for the opinions of other members, and for those with whom the FPAC interacts; is a hallmark of the committee's work. Members seek clarity in presenting their views, and represent a sense of stewardship in all that they do. 5. FPAC members engage in continual self-assessment of their performance on the committee. As needs arise, they seek education, input and the skills necessary to evaluate their performance. 6. The FPAC providcs an opportunity for the education of its members, both as a part of committee meetings, and though access to outside educational events. Members are expected to actively participate in these opportunities. 7. Somc of the FPAC's work involves subjective judgment, where there is not enough data to make the decisions that are necessary. Members who are most successful in these decisions are those who are aware of the values in their neighborhood, willing to engage in the discussion of values, and respectful of those values held by other that might differ from their own. 8. By design the FPAC is composed of individuals with diverse perspectives and experience. The committee benefits from these contrasts that this diversity engenders and seeks to improve the decision making and actions that are necessary to understand the differences and resolve disputes that arise during the discussion of issues and plans.
