Gangplank HQ Information

We are a group of connected individuals and small businesses creating an economy of innovation and creativity in the Valley. We envision a new economic engine comprised of collaboration and community, in contrast to the silos and secrecy left by the dependence on tourism and land development. We have the talent. We just need to work together. Different environments need to overlap, to connect and to interact in order to transform our culture. In order to create a sustainable community based on trust, we value: * collaboration over competition * community over agendas * participation over observation * doing over saying * friendship over formality * boldness over assurance * learning over expertise * people over personalities This new economy cannot thrive without engaging the larger business, creative, entrepreneurial, governmental, and technical communities together. We believe that innovation breeds innovation. We will transform the Valley culture into one supportive of the entrepreneurial spirit, of risk taking, of pioneering into the unknown territories as the founders of our municipalities once did. This requires education, entrepreneurship and creative workspaces.
