A. Presentation by the Network of Care. A demonstration of the web Network of Care portal sponsored by NACO, WCA and others was conducted. The joint Finance/Personnel Committees on October 1, 2014 had postponed approval of the new Veterans Service Office position pending this demonstration. Immediately after this demonstration, it was the consensus of the committee (plus board member Vedro) that while the website might have some future supplemental value, it is no substitute for another staff position in the Veteran’s Service Office. Consequently, the formal support of the ADRC Committee for adding the new Veterans Service Office position remained intact.
