By convening our respective agencies and organizations across sectors and areas of expertise, we are stronger. As a collective of Pacific Islanders, we have this opportunity to identify current initiatives, assess our communities' resources and needs, and facilitate potential partnerships and resource sharing to pro-actively develop strategies that will foster our resilience. We will create accurate, clear and consistent messaging that State leaders, policy makers, funders and others are waiting to hear from our communities.
