MINUTES <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH <br />April 23, 2009 <br />Board of Health Minutes Transcription completed by Anne Miles Cassell 2 April 23, 2009 <br /> <br /> B. Volunteer Month Recognition <br /> <br />Amanda Bartolomeo discussed the receipt of scholarship awards for two Orange <br />County Public Health Reserve Corps (PHRC) volunteers to attend all-expenses <br />paid, four day training in Maryland. This training, sponsored by National <br />Association of City and County Health Officials, will focus on national <br />deployment of Medical Reserve Corps Volunteers. There were only 25 of these <br />all-expenses paid training scholarships available and over 300 applicants. <br />Orange County was awarded two. Orange County currently has 285 registered <br />volunteers, both medical and non-medical. Our goal for next year is to recruit 50 <br />new volunteers focusing on the pharmaceutical field. <br /> <br />Ms. Bartolomeo also discussed recent leadership training that she attended and <br />upcoming April Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and PHRC <br />trainings and events. <br /> <br />Ms. Bartolomeo is working closely with Orange County Emergency Services to <br />develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) map documenting the location <br />of current CERT teams in relation to Orange County fire departments and <br />volunteer fire districts. She shared this map and discussed how this map will be <br />used to target the CERT program’s next recruitment campaign to begin in early <br />June 2009 and briefly described several of the focused trainings. <br /> <br />Tim Carey complimented Ms. Bartolomeo for making the program fun and <br />varied for participants and stated that people were more likely to volunteer for <br />something that seemed like a fun activity rather than an activity that appeared <br />to be like work. <br /> <br />II. Approval of April 23, 2009 Agenda <br /> <br />The motion to approve the Agenda of April 23, 2009 was made by Tim Carey, seconded <br />by Jessica Lee, and carried without dissent. <br /> <br />III.
