HCAO 23rd Annual Meeting-Making it Real!!
On June 10th, HCAO members, activists and supporters convened in Salem for our first in-person meeting in three years!
We elected a new board, learned the latest health care happenings in Salem and Washington DC, and engaged with each other! The energy and enthusiasm for our movement was palpable. Participants were “fired up and ready to go!” and we hope you will join us on our journey to universal health care in Oregon.
We enjoyed insights and commentary from elected officials and leaders in the fight for a just and fair healthcare system. Longtime health activists Rose Hope, Lou Sinniger and Cheryl Campbell received our YOU ROCK Awards for their commitment and perseverance in the fight for a healthcare system that works for ALL of us!
Our new Board of Directors are definitely ready to take Health Care for All Oregon to new heights. President Valdez Bravo presented outgoing President Tom Sincic, the “Keep the Flame Alive” award, an illuminating “flame” which sits atop a wooden block with the inscription, “Thanks for Keeping the Flame Alive”. “We are so grateful to Tom, and his wife Sally for their steadfast commitment to Health Care for All. Thanks for keeping the flame alive!”
In his tenure at HCAO, Tom has been Membership Chair, President and even served as Interim Executive Director. He has served as “our voice in Salem” shepherding through SB 1089, which creates the governing board for universal healthcare in Oregon. Thank you, Tom!
Check out the list of our new Officers and Board of Directors.
A special Thank You to our member church Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Salem for their incredible hospitality!
