Report – Community Involvement Review Working Group (CIP WG)

November 17, 2009

SEHAB remains a member of this WG, listed as an external partner under “Other Advisors”. The Board submitted a brief (November/07) to this committee providing input from volunteers on the valued roles and responsibilities of Community Advisors.

The Department’s position is that this Committee’s activities/recommendations should be in step with those of the SEP revitalization process.

Here is a summary of the September 10/09 WG conference call:

  1. Participants -Barry Peters, Mark Johnson, Dave Davies, Laura Purton, Theresa Southam. Joanne Day, Jeff Jung
