Late in 2019, the Board of Directors crafted an update to NACPO's Mission Statement.

A Mission Statement answers the "WHY?" question … why does NACPO exist? What needs does NACPO seek to fill? What is its "reason for being"?

The intent of the updated statement is to clarify what NACPO is all about, and help align members on what NACPO works towards. At the same time, the Mission Statement guides understanding of what is NOT at the core of NACPO, by omitting some potential items.

Here is the new statement as adopted by the Board:

Since 1993, NACPO's Mission has been to elevate the Casino Party industry by helping members improve their business. By sharing information, working as a team, and finding creative solutions, members grow their business through the NACPO community. Being a NACPO member inspires customer trust and confidence that they will be working with an expert in the Casino Party industry.

You'll be seeing this updated in the Policies and Procedures document, and referenced in other NACPO-benefit actions.
