*Too long a registration, coffee time at the beginning. In <br />Bellflower B we could hear a lot of noise from Bellflower A. <br />*Wish there had been more detail on master client list and <br />Triangle I & R. <br />*More questions, discussion got a little monotonous. <br />*I realize that this area is complex, but I think we can be <br />more down to earth with our language, words like ameliorative, <br />realization of vision, and other jargon specific to our field. <br />This language does nothing but exclude. <br />*The jargon which seems inescapable when discussion human <br />services. <br />*We needed more time, smaller groups. <br />*Subjects too broad to discuss within the time allotted. <br />*Not enough consensus regarding specific goals, objectives, <br />and strategies to achieve these. <br />*Need microphone for wrap up. <br />*Maybe the day was a little long. <br />*Day was rather long and we lost a lot of participants. <br />THE HUMAN SERVICES ADVISORY COMMISSION IS MANDATED TO SPONSOR AND <br />ANNUAL WORKSHOP OR ROUND TABLE. PLEASE LIST ANY IDEAS FOR FUTURE <br />TOPICS: <br />*We talked a lot about evaluation, how about ideas of what <br />Quality is; quality means so many different things. <br />*Developing community consensus on the vision for Human <br />Services and community needs. Forming community values. <br />*I & R Conference; take one important issue, study it in <br />depth, subgroup. <br />*Congruency, re: NEED, is what the consumer needs, what agency <br />provider sees as consumer needs? Delineation of hierarchy in <br />agencies; who helps whom to ensure provision of services? (Do <br />agencies feel heard, supported by County Commissioners, County <br />Government, etc. ?) What are appropriate expectations? How <br />can arms of service help each other? <br />*Identify some 4 or 5 out -going human services receivers, and <br />try for a panel with a super- moderator (sensitivity to <br />clients' viewpoint) on problems clients see. <br />*HSAC or Coordinating Council (Interns ?) write a grant <br />application to Triangle Communities Foundation to subsidize <br />individuals who make minimum wage to allow them to participate <br />in this conference and obtain training to be a board member of <br />an Orange County Human Services Agency and subsidize them for <br />dependent care and transportation to monthly and annual <br />meetings. <br />4 <br />
