Outside correspondence

Heather attended conference in Toronto November 27.

Strong commitment to fund the co-ordinating committees. We are doing very well according to the way we are set up and continuing to run our committee according to the recommendations from the conference.

Heather proposed what we think of making a plan for paying a co-ordinator to lessen the burden from our busy agendas.

By the end of March, have this in place so we can continue to be productive with our agendas and meetings.

Jan 23 meeting with Susan in Ottawa to discuss contract and what it entails.

Description of co-ordinator job description and role this person plays, and what the contract entails. Find out where the funding is coming from and how to organize this so it works for us. Pros and cons of the funding and contracts. Information to be brought back and discussed in February.
