Happy Monday! There is
still time to sign up for the upcoming Balance of State Meeting – Thursday
training. Please see below.
In this email, there are some updates, resources, a reminder
about upcoming deadlines, and more. Please make sure to share this
email with your co-workers, community partners, and coalition members.
(1) Balance
of State CoC November Annual Meeting
The registration for Thursday, November 12th
and Friday, November 13th is now posted on the Balance of State
website. https://www.wiboscoc.org/quarterly-meetings.html
I have attached the agenda for Thursday and Friday to this email.
Similar to August, you must register in Eventbrite
for Thursday’s diversity training. You will receive a confirmation email
from Eventbrite. It is very important that the email you use in the
registration is the email of the person that will actually be attending the
training. In the confirmation email, you will receive the 2 go-to-webinar
links and password necessary to sign up for the AM and PM sessions of the
Thursday, November 12th training. There is a fee for the Diversity
training and it will not be recorded.
For Friday’s business meeting, you must use the
go-to-webinar link to sign up prior to November 13th. There is
no fee for Friday’s meeting.
Please make sure to register through EVENTBRITE (for
Thursday) and also Go-TO Webinar for Thursday!
(2) Deadlines
The gaps and needs
surveys are due by November 15th. The goal is for 25
surveys from clients and 25 surveys from providers for each coalition. The
links are below:
·
Gaps and Needs Client Survey https://forms.gle/bEdESyeMYVJFwQwA8
·
Gap and Needs Providers Survey https://forms.gle/CvS8nwH3foZebL1i6
I have attached the paper copies as well.
(3) Upcoming
Training Opportunities & Guidance
Because our BOS meetings will be
virtual through 2021 (maybe we can hope for November in person, but who
knows?!), we have been working on scheduling some additional virtual trainings
to help the support you are all doing. The first one of those will be
November 24th with a focus on Fair Housing. The webinar will not
be recorded, per request of the presenter. However, those that register
will receive the PowerPoint and any other materials prior to the start of the
meeting. If you have suggestions or ideas for additional trainings, please send
me those ideas & potential speakers.
