Missoula Job Service
The Family Services and Housing Chairs reported on our upcoming cross training.
The day is scheduled for May 14th from 10:00-12:00 at the Lifelong Learning Center. It will focus on appropriate referrals to the family service and housing organizations who are presenting. There will be room for approximately 50 attendees. Monique will maintain a waiting list if there are more than 50 interested in attending. The training will take place in a speed dating format. We will open the training with some information about 211-First Call for Help and then Michelle will make some housekeeping announcements. The 5 groups of people will then begin circulating around the tables. They will be at each table for 10 minutes, and then have 2 minutes to move to the next table. There will be a networking portion from 12:00-12:30. The Chairs will provide snacks. The tables will be as follows:
1-Missoula Housing Authority and the Human Resource Council Housing Information
2-YWCA, Council Groves, and homeWORD
3-OPA and the Job Service WORC Program (Possible: Blind and Low Vision)
4-Missoula Veterans Center, Summit Independent Living Center, and Turning Point
5-Child Care Resources, Salvation Army, and WORD
Monique will provide certificates to participants. She will send out a copy to the Chairs of the day so they can decide on wording for the certificate. CCR and HRDC will work on getting small items donated to motivate people to stay on time. Monique will get color coded folders and nametags, and will set up the sound system. Michelle will take care of managing the transitions between tables. Monique will talk to Jodie and get an evaluation card made up to get feedback from participants. We will collect feedback on the format and the use of time. The Chairs for the day will be asking each presenting agency to put together a one page synopsis regarding who they serve and how to refer to that agency. Monique will take care of registration for the event, assigning groups, and color coordinating the groups. She will also provide a participant list for each person who attends. The Chairs will call to invite the organizations who are attending, and the other core CMT members will call to invite the non presenting organizations. Lynn will provide pens. The Chairs will develop a flyer for distribution by Monique.
Please find out for registration purposes how many staff will attend and the following information: Name, address, phone number and email.
Please email Monique if you know of any changes to the list of CMT Leadership from the Summit, and also for any additional organizations you would like to invite.
It was decided that we will hold a full CMT meeting on Tuesday, April 14th from 3:30-5:00 pm, location to be arranged. Monique will contact Mountain West Bank to see if we can reserve their conference room. At that time we can update our full membership and touch base on how stimulus money may affect our organizations.
The next CMT meeting is on April 2 at 9:00 am at Job Service.
Monique reported on a Lifelong Learning Center Satellite office in Superior. There is a community meeting on the 11th of March at 6:00 pm at the Superior Elementary School to gage interest in the programs that could be provided to that community. Anyone is welcome.
Monique requested a letter of support from the CMT regarding ABE sites. The CMT needs clarification on the source of funds before sending the letter.
Michelle updated us on their search for a new location.
Meeting adjourned.
