Ms. Kovalcik-Weaver reported that the Annual Report was approved at the November meeting and distributed before January 1, 2009. Members discussed the cover of the annual report. Members decided to go with a collage of member pictures for the annual report in the community and possibly with people who were OVR customers and working. Members need to send pictures into staff by August.
Ms. Passle Helminski volunteered to do the disability agenda committee report at the Full Council meeting in Ms. Crissman's absence.
Ms. Williams discussed having transition as a goal for the committee and what is being done in the Department of Education and what is the connection with OVR. Ms. Linda Loar indicated that she would get an overall summary report on transition from Mr. Michael Stoehr. Questions that members have for OVR are about the underserved youth and elderly populations, and if they have equal access to transition. Staff will send an email to Ms. Marji Beyer in this regards. After the committee reads the report they will begin to write their goal.
The meeting adjourned at approximately 11:35 a.m.
The next meeting is March 13, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.
