Annual Meeting!

Every year the coalition hosts an annual meeting to recognize the people and events that have made the coalition a success throughout the year.  This year’s annual meeting was especially special because we were able to look back at how adaptable and resilient the coalition is.  Pre-COVID, we primarily relied on getting out our resources and information through face-to-face interactions with the community, so when the pandemic came into play we had to pivot and figure out how we can still achieve our mission while doing our part to protect the community from COVID.  It was not always easy but from the resourcefulness, grit, and dedication of all of our members, we had a lot of successes to celebrate.  During the meeting we honored coalition members for their support, reviewed the new annual report, took our coalition survey to get the perspectives from the members on how we can improve, and we ended with some fun coalition trivia and ice cream!  Check out the pictures below for some highlights of the meeting!!

The new annual report is available as well, you can read it HERE
