calling method to get data

within the context of a form, what's the right way to get the data for this component? I get Using $this when not in object context when I try to call the getOwners() method I created.

  Tab::make('Contacts')
                        ->schema([
                            ContactCard::make('contacts')->items(function (Model $record) {
//I could just get the data here, but it seems messy to me.
                                return $this->getOwners();
                            }),
                        ]),

  Tab::make('Contacts')
                        ->schema([
                            ContactCard::make('contacts')->items(function (Model $record) {
//I could just get the data here, but it seems messy to me.
                                return $this->getOwners();
                            }),
                        ]),

I got it working doing this:

 ContactCard::make('contacts')->items(function (Model $record) {
                                $collection = $record->owners->map(function ($item) {
                                    return ['name' => $item->first_name, 'title' => 'Owner'];
                                });

                                return $collection->toArray();
                            }),

 ContactCard::make('contacts')->items(function (Model $record) {
                                $collection = $record->owners->map(function ($item) {
                                    return ['name' => $item->first_name, 'title' => 'Owner'];
                                });

                                return $collection->toArray();
                            }),

This is only my proof of concept, and I think what I actually need to get in terms of data is going to be more complicated. I still don't know if it all needs to live in this closure, or if I should have a separate class somewhere? Would love anyones take on best practices.

you can make a static method? static::getOwners($record)
