Discussion Items: <br /> a) Review and update of existing VAD brochure: Staff handed out the present trifold VAD <br /> brochure, which is an updated version of a new brochure from 2016. Staff asked members <br /> to try to think like an outsider and read through this. How well does this convey essential <br /> information about the VAD program? We don't want it to overwhelm readers. Discussion <br /> followed. Wagger said his first impression was that it had too much information. Perhaps it <br /> could be a two-sided card to hand out, that provides the essential information, and can also <br /> be mailed out. It could have a QR code on the card to link to more information. If the goal is <br /> to get someone's attention, then keep it simple and offer an easy way for viewers to learn <br /> more. Staff asked for a couple of volunteers to help vet revisions and reformatting. Hooten <br />
