Report from the Advocate:
The committee needs to recruit for new committee members because 2 committee members (Latonia Edmondsand Faye Joseph) have stepped down and we only have 3 committee members. Only 2 could meet today which made this meeting not meet requirements for a full quorum. There is a committee interview after this session. Mr. Richard may also step down which may mean we need members in these categories: Health Care Provider (CAN, PT, DR, LLC Directors), Consumer (Any service, ID or substance abuse including) Be on the lookout for new members.
