<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Directors,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During my annual review, Claire Zucker shared the attached communication plan she developed for Pima County. When I was at Maricopa County, I worked to communicate with everyone in the office through scheduled meetings and walked the halls
to check in when faculty and staff were available.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Claire has put her thoughts down on paper and agreed to share them with all of you. I think it is a great guide, and CEDs, and even myself, as state director, can use this to ensure we are keeping the communication lines open with everyone
in the office.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you, Claire, for sharing.<o:p></o:p></p>
