“Our newsletter is a great example of what interdivisional collaboration can accomplish,” said the publication’s editor-in-chief.

“It has fostered connectivity and creativity and has empowered employees throughout our divisions to use their writing abilities to share the good work that our HDOT does, while improving team spirit and morale. ”

“I’m proud of what our DOT ‘ohana has accomplished,” said Araki-Regan.
