Respect

All individuals deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.  We are committed to creating an environment where everyone can expect fair treatment and civility.  It is the responsibility of each individual to recognize and value the differences and contribution of others.

Trust

We must be trustworthy, both individually and as an organization.  We value reliability, dependability, and dedication.  We strive to maintain the integrity of the System, and work diligently so that members can rely on us to provide the benefits and services to which they are entitled.
