The Friends of Delray mission is incorporated in our motto: 

Accountable Government, Sensible Growth and Civic Pride. 

What does this mean?

• Accountable Government reflects informed citizens that hold city officials to the values of transparency, responsiveness, financial prudence, accessibility, inclusiveness and ethics.

• Sensible Growth seeks to balance the competing interests of creating a dynamic city without runaway development that ruins the quality of life.  More broadly, sensible growth reflects a vision of what we want our city to be as it matures.

• Civic Pride is the financial and informational support we provide for special organizations and events that make our city special.
