Subject:  Citizens Advisory Committee Meeting

 

In case I have not met some of you yet, I am Janel Spaulding, the watershed facilitator for the Chehalis Basin Partnership.  Part of my focus for this new position will be to conduct outreach activities with the local community and I see the Citizens Advisory Committee as being an important source of information and ideas.  After speaking with a couple of committee members I would like to organize a meeting for the Citizens Advisory Committee.  I know this committee has not met in a while but I would like to begin creating an outreach plan, possibly using or revising some of the citizen involvement techniques created in 2001. 

 

I would like to invite the Citizens Advisory Committee and anyone else who’s interested in outreach or the future of the committee to our first meeting on Friday, June 27th at 12:30 at the Lucky Eagle Casino, the same meeting place as the Chehalis Basin Partnership.  I envision this first meeting lasting maybe 15-30 minutes.  I would like to have an informal meet and greet and hear whether the Citizens Advisory Committee would be willing to become actively involved in helping to revise or re-create an outreach plan that will be a main focus of my job.  I also have some new ideas for outreach activities that I would like to discuss either at this first meeting or a future meeting.

 

Here is a brief agenda for our first meeting:

  • Introductions
  • Involvement of Citizens Advisory Committee in outreach plan and activities
  • New outreach ideas

 

If you have any questions regarding directions to the Lucky Eagle Casino or if you feel anything should be added to the agenda please don’t hesitate to contact me.  I look forward to seeing you at the first meeting!
