Home Rule: The League is committed to using every resource to protect Florida’s Home Rule powers for municipalities, and to enhancing these powers in any way possible. Home Rule is the greatest strength of our cities.

Integrity: The League embraces truthfulness and trust, and has the moral courage and obligation to be open, honest and ethical in all that we do. We treat everyone with dignity and respect.

Excellence: The League is committed to achieving the highest standards of excellence in our service, programs, products, technology, management and leadership. We recognize our responsibility and are accountable for the important work entrusted to us to better serve our members for future generations.

Public Service: The League is committed to the spirit of public service, and recognizes the tremendous energy, dedication, sacrifice and compassion needed to give unselfishly to one’s community. The League, Florida and our nation are stronger and better because of the public servants who choose to serve and lead.
