The following reports were presented: · Membership/Communications – April Vestal noted highlights of their written report, such as updating of membership application, website updates, master member list, and a WVRHA email address to communicate to membership. Future plans include a quarterly e-newsletter and a membership drive. · Fundraising – Patti Crawford noted highlights from the report, which included the silent auction, and forum fundraising. · By-Laws – There were no changes made in the By-Laws this year. They are posted on the website. · Nominations – At the membership meeting, Sara Jane Gainor will explain the process and encourage new nominations. · Policy – Sally Richardson noted highlights on the committee’s written report. There were 177 participants at the seven community forums. The Institute for Health Policy Research will send the draft forum report for each location to forum coordinators. The coordinators will then send the report to forum participants for their comments. The goal is to present a final report to the board for approval at the 11/26/07 meeting. It will be disseminated to stakeholders in December-January. Board members suggested that we develop a plan for media attention (e.g., news releases, presentation to the Governor, etc.) Patti commended Sally and her colleagues (Johnna and Gail) for their work on the forums. |
