Through this process, common themes emerged which we identified as our “Planning Planks.” We used the
analogy of building a plank house when creating the outcomes and objectives for our goals. We will build
our plank house on a solid foundation of infrastructures. In order for us to strengthen our community, our
plank house needs that good foundation and strong, supportive planks. To that end we use collaboration,
communication, empowerment, common messaging, transparency and more effective governance as a means
to do the work.
