MAP presentation to the BOCC for acceptance on May 24, 7 pm. The presentation is at the top of <br /> agenda, all are invited to attend. We can all be very proud of the work done and yet to be done. This is <br /> truly a community wide plan. All groups are having their 4t" quarter meeting to fill in the final quarter <br /> information for the 2017-22 MAP. The Ripple Effect MAP has been hung on the wall in the Conference <br /> Room at the Seymour Center <br /> 14. Comments and Reflections <br /> a. How do we use the MAP for funding opportunities? It is used for everything from budget prep, <br /> setting work priorities, looking for grants, guide for our commissioners and other organizations <br /> that we work with. MAP shows that people want it, 200+ people worked on it. Partners may <br /> use the great resources of the MAP data for their grant writing, reporting, and as a guide for <br /> planning programs and services. <br /> b. Let's think big as a board. A lot of valuable information is in the MAP that could turn into grants, <br /> this is our plan and we can demonstrate the need and desire by the community. <br /> i. Time is an issue for writing and applying for grants, we are not grant writers <br /> ii. Maybe board members can keep an eye open for larger scale grants and helping with <br /> the writing <br /> iii. Grant writers in OC might be looking to get involved. Advertise for retired grant writer <br /> volunteers <br /> Committee Progress Reports if needed: <br /> 15.

Nursing Home Community Advisory Committee—Vibeke Talley <br /> a. Request to draft a letter from Commissioner Sally Greene to TJCOG-AAA Board concerning CAC <br /> members still prohibited from visiting long-term care facilities per the State Long Term Care <br /> Ombudsman. Why is it taking so long that we cannot get in when all others are back in visiting. <br /> It is discouraging to members of the committee who want to serve but cannot. Requested Mary <br /> Warren to put it on the AAA board agenda on the 17t". Came up on the commissioner's meeting <br />
