In an effort to merge the needs of the different businesses with the work of the school district, a mission and vision statement emerged that bonded the two entities together in their work to create a diverse, yet competent workforce. The Mission Statement – The Ravenna Business Advisory Council provides opportunities where educators, students, business and community leaders can network, collaborate, and partner together in creating programs and opportunities that support and develop a stronger workforce is intended to set the stage for any and all initiatives that are designed to help students bring their attributes and talents to the table, learn about postsecondary opportunities, and package those same characteristics in such a way that they are enrolled, employed or enlisted in the programs of their choice. The Vision Statement was a little loftier in purpose – To unite schools, businesses, organizational groups, institutions of higher learning, professional organizations and individuals who are committed to building a strong Ravenna community.
