What Distinguishes This Pathway

The organizational foundation is established. The focus is sustaining and strengthening it. Growth does not always mean getting bigger. It may mean becoming more stable, paying people more fairly, doing fewer things better, strengthening systems, deepening relationships, or changing work that is no longer sustainable.
