Vendor Leadership Forum meeting 4/27
The regular monthly meeting of the Vendor Leadership Forum (VLF) was held this morning between 9:15 and 10 in the board room at The Regional Center. The meetings are open and held on the fourth Thursday of every month except August and December, from 9:00 (or as soon as a room opens up)-10.
The attendees this month were
Joe, Chair
Vendors:Alana, Kai (Cathay), Doug and Edith
Regional Center staff: Roxy, Joyce
At the meeting there was discussion of next steps. The main points were:
1. Depth of interest in training of vendors in Person-Centered Thinking should be assessed to determine how often the first trainings should be scheduled.
2. VLF members and service users should be communicating directly. Alana will contact families participating in the Mark Starford training to set up a meeting which will be open to families and vendors generally.
3. The upcoming Learning Group meeting (Next Friday at 2PM at CHOICESS 135 Live Oak, Arcadia) will compare where we are on the PATH (click here to see) with where we planned to be.
4. We need accountability in process and clients and families are good agents of that.
5. Families interested in person-centered services should be encouraged to set up a website/weblog like this one which can be linked to advance conversation.
6. World Cafe facilitation methodology may be useful in communitywide conversations.
The meeting adjourned early proving that anything is possible.
Attendees, I'm a lousy note-taker. Did I miss anyone or anything?
