The ELARC Vendor Advisory Committee (VAC) used its meeting yesterday, October 25, to discuss the purpose, vision and format of the VAC. This process can be expected to continue over several months. Several themes, emerged, listed below. Please review the list below and leave your ideas in the comments below to any of these questions:

Now the list:
-To communicate directly with the general community, the local disability community, the ELARC staff and board, DDS and one another.
-To improve the quality of life of people with disabilities.
-To increase vendor participation and have it be more representative.
-A closed session of the VAC without ELARC staff present to start each meeting.
-New categories of committees, particularly tailored to facilitate transition and cooperation between vendor agencies.
-Complete feedback loop between VAC and board, collaborative.
-Representation of legislative and political action.
-Serving as a change agent.
-Providing training.
-Include comprehensive and systems thinking about the system as a whole.
What do you all think? Which of the above resonate and which are less or more important? My instinct is we need no more than 5 items on this list to take a next step.
