Meeting Summary

Date: Dec. 11, 2008

1. Activities and accomplishments since the last meeting:

All work groups are meeting regularly – many on a weekly basis.

Steering committee met December 8, 2008.

Several members of LTRC testified December 9 at a hearing to determine how $1.3 billion in Texas allocation of Community Development Block Grant disaster funds will be used.

A mission statement, objectives, guiding principles and membership expectations was drafted.

2. Highlights of meeting discussion:

The mission statement, objectives, guiding principles and membership expectations (collectively “Organizing Principles and Participating Agency Agreement”) were reviewed and discussed. Steering committee composition was explained and January 8 election of at-large members was announced.

It was agreed that communication must be clear between various work groups, steering committee and general membership. Suggestion was made to post meeting schedules and minutes to VOAD website.

Distinction was made between a long term recovery organization and a committee. GHLTRC is a committee—a collaborative effort of its members.

Organizations active in long term recovery were encouraged to attend work group meetings.

Volunteer management work group reported that it is setting up a volunteer reception desk and working on getting the word out that volunteers are needed. Next meeting is Dec. 12.

Spiritual & Mental Health work group reported that it is defining an operating model.
