Thrive RISE Quarterly Meeting:
Introducing Community Resilience Manager & COAD Committee Co-Chairs
Wednesday, June 25, 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm, Virtual
Please join us for our Thrive RISE COAD Quarterly Meeting on Wednesday, June 25, from 1 PM - 2 PM. We will introduce Betty Nen, Thrive Alliance's new Community Resilience Manager. We will introduce the Co-Chairs for our Thrive RISE COAD Committees in four key issue areas. All COAD members and individuals interested in emergency management and community preparedness are encouraged to join.
Issue Area Committees: Thrive RISE has formed working groups to support disaster planning and risk reduction initiatives in the areas of Children and Childcare; Older Adults and Access and Functional Needs (AFN); Mental Health and Spiritual Care; and Food Security. The goals of these committees will be to define the roles that specific organizations may play in disasters, develop collaborative plans and projects, and build localized knowledge and capacity in disaster. We are excited to introduce our Thrive RISE Committee Co-Chairs to our COAD network at this meeting.
To participate in this meeting, please scroll to the bottom of the page, add the event to your calendar, and join us at 1 PM.
