FOR Initiative

A Vision for Our County

At Jackson County, our mission is encapsulated in the phrase FOR Jackson FOR Future FOR You—a commitment to serving our community with intentionality, compassion, and purpose. This initiative was born out of a desire to redefine how local government connects with its citizens, focusing not on limitations or obstacles but on the positive, enduring values we stand for.

Inspired by the principles in Jeff Henderson’s book FOR, this initiative challenges us to shift perceptions of local government from a faceless bureaucracy to a team of dedicated individuals who care deeply about the community we call home. It’s a reminder that we are not just here to enforce rules but to advocate for Jackson County, its future, and every individual who lives, works, or plays here.

Our Commitment in Action

We’ve taken meaningful steps to ensure this vision translates into everyday actions. Through initiatives like the Citizens Academy, we’re bridging gaps by educating and building relationships with residents, fostering transparency, and opening the doors of government to the people we serve. Internally, we’ve strengthened our team through enhanced training, leadership development, and a culture of support for our employees—because being FOR the citizens starts with being FOR our team.

Monthly service projects further demonstrate our commitment, whether reading to elementary students, supporting food pantries, or visiting local nursing homes. These efforts not only provide critical support to our community but also remind us why we serve: to create a better Jackson County for today and tomorrow.

A Vision for Everyone

FOR Jackson FOR Future FOR You is more than a slogan—it’s a promise. We are FOR Jackson County as a whole, for its future generations, and most importantly, for you. Whether you’re a citizen, employee, business owner, or visitor, our mission is to advocate for your success and well-being.

Together, we are building a community where every action reflects the values we stand for and where the possibilities for growth and connection are limitless. Welcome to a government that is truly FOR you.
