Brief Notes:

• Future meetings:

  • Once possible, a mix of in-person and virtual meetings will be used

  • During colder months favor virtual

  • During warmer months favor in person

  • A winter meeting was abandoned due to travel concerns, possibly bring this back now that virtual is an option

  • This would bring us to four meetings a year instead of three

  • Next meeting will be in July

  • John will be more robust in his reminder emails for this meeting

• Passport Program

  • Emily provided an update on the status of the passport program

  • A cultural tourism grant was applied for but unsuccessful

  • This lead to a broader discussion on the timing of this program

  • Looks like the Passport Program will likely take place in 2022

  • This allows more time to plan and allows for organizations to hopefully fully have their doors open

  • Emily shared mock-ups of the NWOCHG logo to be featured on prizes (which look great!)

  • Emily is seeking committee members to help with the grant writing process

  • Linda Huber and Ron Davidson are possible members of the committee

• Lots of open discussion about the status of organizations and the degree to which they are open to the public
