About the Excellence Work GroupThis workgroup has been charged with addressing the "pillar" from the consultant's plan documented below. It can also be viewed in the context of the broader plan at http://stratml.us/carmel/iso/HHISAPwStyle.xml#_3db87bcc-138d-11e8-89c9-b3d9b4e6fde7 [The goals documented in this StratML rendition are from the draft provided at the work group's meeting on November 21.]Relentlessly pursue excellence... One of the defining features of the Hilton Head Island community engagement workshop dialogue was the obvious passion people have for the Island. Many people are deeply connected to the Charles Fraser vision and hold that vision in high regard. It is apparent that one of the underlying values of many of the workshop participants was a deep appreciation of excellence.Our Plan Pursuit of Excellence Work
