The State Executive on Aging (EOA) gave two (2) webinars to get the final input on the State's 4 -Year Area Plan - Judy Bell, Meizhu Lui, Debbie Wills, and Shelly Ogata participated. b. Kimo gave a power point presentation of the five (5) goals which have not changed since the last 4 -Year Plan. A copy of his power point is attached. A few things was noted: 1) Keeping Kupuna Active: Since other entities provide health edua- tion, it was felt that Kupuna could be referred to those entities rather than the ADRC doing it. The success of the Retired and Senior Vol- unteer Program (RSVP) was transferred to the Elderly Activities Division (EAD), and they will manage it themselves. This follows the Hawaii County Office of Aging's model of incubating, and then spinning off successful programs. 2) Forge Partnerships: The ADRC will become dementia capable, an objective of the State Plan, by working with the Alzheimer's Haivaii Couno, is an Equal Opportunh)� Provider and Employer.
