Neither of these is possible without articulating this vision. This document is a rough draft of such a vision; indeed it will always remain a rough draft, as change is the only constant. Care must be taken, however, that this change is organic, gradual, and serves the ends of the Society. Without such care, it will become "mission creep" and lead the organization to become something else.
Note please that the entire contents of the Centennial Vision is the musings and opinions of the [[Consuls]]. It does not have the endorsement of and may not reflect the opinions of the [[Board]], [[Planning Committee]], or any other [[Elected Officer|Elected Officers]] or member of the Society. Consuls hope that it will be found a useful source of inspiration to those bodies and officers who are responsible for the vision, plan, and administration of the Society. At the least, it will perhaps help to explain all the many odd opinions held and actions taken by these Consuls as the work within the established plan to further their own version of the Society's vision.
