recognizing that we didn't have all the resources in state government that we were going to need to marshal the best possible response. And so he enlisted a lot of other outside leaders, health and health care and public health, but also in business. And we were obviously thinking about the impacts on the private sector, the impacts on education, children.

marshalling resources from the National Guard and a lot of agencies that have resources and operational excellence, but also getting support from the private sector and from other nonprofit organizations to be able to execute the strategies that we put in place to procure or deploy, whether it's testing or PPE or vaccines or whatever the challenge of the day was at the time.

In the end, it does require effort to push things forward and sometimes have to agree to disagree and to try to drive towards the outcome that you feel is the right one at the end. And I think maybe those are some of the common themes that I've experienced or observed over the years.
