May 14, 2009 Minutes
Present: Tonya, Whitney, Mike, Suzanne, Aileen, Liz, Lacanas, Bryan, Kiersten, Marie, Nikki, Belinda, Lynn, Dawn
Absent: Stan
Old Business: Re-started discussion of Bylaws, election of officers, etc…since more members were present today. Liz passed out the handout with Bylaws questions. Each member is to fill in answers and return to the next meeting for discussion.
New Business: Discussed purchasing marketing materials for LET. All members agreed that pens, note pads, pill boxes, a table cover and polo shirts all with the LET logo would be ordered. All agreed that having these items would help to advertise LET and possibly get other consumers to join. We also discussed the importance of LET members taking over some of the health fairs (i.e. ESH health fair) thus a table cover will be purchased. Lynn or Liz will accompany LET members to the first few fairs so they can be trained on items to display, what to say to individuals who visit the table, etc…
Liz discussed the USPRA conference and informed members that there are block grant funds available for
members to attend the conference if interested.
Liz discussed the importance of developing Bylaws and establishing officers because the Consumer Fund is now ready to access. Developing Bylaws and establishing officers will be the first step towards LET becoming the Consumer Advisory Council. One responsibility of the CAC will be to review applications to the Consumer Fund which is now ready to be accessed. Liz stressed the importance of moving the team forward and closer to becoming a CAC.
Bryan will be attending WRAP facilitator training at the end of the month
Conclusions, Recommendations, Actions
The group decided that each member will work on the Bylaws questionnaire over the next 3 weeks and return with their input. More discussion occurred around what the executive officer positions should be.
Adjournment
Since several people will not be here for a May 28th meeting, the next meeting will be June 4, 2009 at 2:30.

Colonial has been busy with recovery implementation these past few months. We had three CARF webinars on person centered planning and several staff attended live training on the person centered philosophy and person centered planning within the past month. Middle managers are getting training on person centered treatment planning and the state human rights regulations, and more training is planned. The Office of Family and Consumer Affairs has launched as well.
The LET and some staff members viewed a webinar on WRAP planning done by Mary Ellen Copeland and Essential Learning recently. The open house this past week was a success. Very soon the CSB will have a peer support specialist working at the CSB.

Drop-in center trip: Scheduled for 10/24/08
Warm line: MP-NN used to have a warm line but they were unable to keep it going. Belinda suggested consumers do research on who now has a warm line. We will ask Becky Sterling at MP why theirs did not work. Consumers need to come back and report something about the warm line at our next meeting (11/6/08). For example, someone needs to find out who is currently running a warm line. Someone else should try to find out why a CSB may have discontinued their warm line, etc…
