Date/Time: Wednesday, March 31, 2021; 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Location: Virtual on Zoom
Attendees: Justin Crawfis, Ron Davidson, John Dewees, Linda Huber, Leslie Korenko, Marnie Pratt, Emily Rinaman, Jo Anne Schiefer, Mark Sprang
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
