universal design. Ms. Jamieson-Drake stated that more than 90 communities exist nationwide. Donna <br />Prather asked the possibility of including a care facility as part of the continuum. Dan Hatley suggested <br />that Carolina Villages be represented at the Resource Fair scheduled for this May. <br />Janice Tyler asked for volunteers to review the outside agency funding applications for senior services <br />submitted to Orange County. Leo Allison, Alex Castro and Richard White offered their assistance. The <br />funding requests will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners at its June 11 meeting. <br />Mary Fraser summarized Project Engaged, a program developed in Haywood County that would address <br />that MAP goal of improved access to information. She reported that a group consisting of Advisory <br />Board members and staff met with the Project Manager via Skype the previous week and were excited <br />about the opportunities this model offers for information dissemination countywide. The $3,000 <br />received from NC SHIIP for options counseling could be designated for the purchase of the Project tool <br />kit. An application has been developed for the use of a Capstone student team to coordinate the <br />implementation. Dan Hatley urged that sponsors be identified to sustain this Project beyond the initial <br />development phase. Mary Fraser added that an advisory group similar to the MAP Management Team <br />be established for Project Engaged. <br />Alex Castro suggested that written committee reports be distributed with the Advisory Board’s monthly <br />meeting notice and minutes. This would allow the opportunity for information to be shared in those <br />instances such as today when Committee Progress Reports are pre-empted due to the length of the <br />meeting. Janice Tyler announced upcoming events, including the RSVP fundraiser on March 2, an initial <br />meeting of those interested in reaching out to the gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender community, <br />and the scheduling of the Long Term Care Roundtable meeting of providers and consumers. <br />Being after 5:00 pm, the meeting was adjourned. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Janice Tyler, Secretary <br />
