The Harrison County Health Department will be available to us on Friday November 9th from 10am-12pm. If these dates are in conflict with your schedule, you may send a proxy to represent your organization. The mission of this meeting will be to educate future members and affiliates on what a VOAD/COAD is and how it affects our organizations and the communities we serve. This meeting will be a large event that will give organizations, who would like to participate in the development of the SMVOAD, a chance to collaborate. This meeting is a prelude to an enrollment event that will be the stage for organizing the SMVOAD's mission, member elections, bylaw acceptance, and all other official VOAD business. At this stage, the meetings are to maintain momentum and lay the foundation for a strong organization. As our local VOAD meets and develops an organizational structure and assess the agencies involved in disaster response, in and out of the state, the local VOAD strengthens. The development of this organization is vital in our community's response in future disasters. I hope all of you are excited as I am in the development of this greatly needed community resource.

This meeting will be a large event that will give organizations, who would like to participate in the development of the SMVOAD, a chance to collaborate. This meeting is a prelude to an enrollment event that will be the stage for organizing the SMVOAD's mission, member elections, bylaw acceptance, and all other official VOAD business. At this stage, the meetings are to maintain momentum and lay the foundation for a strong organization. As our local VOAD meets and develops an organizational structure and assess the agencies involved in disaster response, in and out of the state, the local VOAD strengthens. The development of this organization is vital in our community's response in future disasters. I hope all of you are excited as I am in the development of this greatly needed community resource.
