MECHWI advisors and staff have created 3 committees to advance the work in the initiative's general strategic plan. Committees have invited new members into the committees who have shown interest in those areas. See below for the updates on the exciting work that is being done!
The committees have launched!
Interested participants that signed up for a committee have receive an email with meeting details and will start the important work on behalf of the Initiative.
Workforce Development Committee
Members reviewed work plan, charter and norms. As part of future meetings, Committee members will develop an action plan.
Policy/Advocacy Committee
Opened to new members at the end of February. During recent meetings, members reviewed the Committee charter, compiled a list of their skills and areas of expertise, and discussed what objectives and activities the Committee will focus on. As part of future meetings, Committee members will develop an action plan.
Communications/Outreach Committee
Members reviewed and revised the final draft of the Maine CHW definition that will be submitted to the state. The definition had been previously created by MECHWI advisors and proposed to the MECHWI members at large earlier this year. Committee members will develop a further action plan.
If you are interested in joining a committee, email Bridgette Gemelli, Capacity Building Coordinator at bgemelli@mcd.org.
