April 15th COAD Meeting Summary


Summary:
WHATCOM COAD MEETING
April 15, 2014

Attendees:  Hollie Moe (Volunteer Center/RSVP), Mallory Graving (Saturna Capital), John Lieberherr (Whatcom County Search & Rescue Council), Chalice Dew-Johnson (WCSO-DEM/WUEM)

COAD Speaker Series Presenter - Hollie Moe, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program Director, with the Volunteer Center of Whatcom County.  Hollie gave an excellent presentation on who the Volunteer Center of Whatcom County is, what types of services and programs they provide, and how they engage and provide support in times of disasters.
New Business: 
·            Mallory Graving is still waiting to receive confirmations from a couple Speaker Series presenters for this next round of presentations.  Once she has those confirmations, she plans to complete the Speaker Series flyer for the months of May, June, July and September.  COAD is not holding a meeting in August, therefore there is no speaker scheduled for that month. 
·            Chalice Dew-Johnson plans to add links to the COAD blog for the Speaker Series presentations from January, February, March and April.  She still needs to collect 2 of the 4 presentations and get some technical support to make this happen. 

 Next Meeting: May 20th 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
