- provide a venue for fair and impartial consideration of issues, including member-to-member harassment.
- respect and value the diversity and integrity of the Team, ONA members and staff.

- be accountable to membership and staff through the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.
- promote increased involvement of the equity groups in the activities and leadership of ONA.
