HCHA meeting <br />November 5, 2020 <br />Poindexter: Yeah, I know about the action plan too but even on the ... what I'm <br />saying is all the different departments have all these different puzzle pieces and I <br />think at all the different levels we need to have community input or involvement, <br />regardless of what it is... <br />Hosaka: Okay, yeah... <br />Poindexter: .... that's what I'm ... that's what I'm getting at, and I know when <br />somebody talked about the seven habits, if anybody owned one of those <br />franklin covey planners you automatically ... you would get the seven habits, <br />right?
