Seldom is there only one good way to solve a problem. Continuous evolution and improvement of our
engagement strategies requires a collaborative effort from all levels of the organization. Challenging
the status quo, sharing ideas for new processes, and developing different engagement strategies is
the driving force behind this initiative.
All personnel are supported and encouraged to experiment with efforts that are Ethical,
within Policy, consistent with our Mission Statement and for the Public Good.
