 Message about the meeting

Hi Folks -

Thanks to all of you that were able to attend our last meeting in late June 2019 (or send your thoughts beforehand as Dee did), which included an appearance by Mayor Norton! You will see an attached file that includes a slightly revised city for health framework along with an updated timeline, questions and action items for the Discovery Walk project. Feel free to send along feedback or questions, especially if you were not able to attend our last meeting.

 

For our next session, we will share a specific Discovery Walk timeline and list of action items (and roles) as well as a first draft of key communities and community partners we will be working (starting) with. We will look for feedback as well as discuss the role of this team/your organizations.

 

Additionally, at our meeting in June, Patrick raised the idea of using the DMC annual meeting and prototyping festival (September 19) as an opportunity to raise awareness of this effort, the people who are behind it and to solicit feedback on the framework and specific community health concerns and or interventions to address them (we discussed isolation as a possibility). We will discuss/design an action plan to deliver on these objectives at our next meeting as well. I will be reaching out to you in a separate email to see if you might be able to join Jess and I table at the meeting and participate.

 

Thanks and we hope you will be able to make it!
