Hello All,
As we had discussed at the last meeting, our next step was to consider some talking points or questions that we can pose to our partners in assessing the need for a Poverty Summit in Delaware County, hosted by DelcoAD. I have attached a draft of few sample questions we can ask our partners. Please feel free to add more. We had also mentioned the Community Action Agency Poverty Simulation, which we are choosing not to do; however, I found a great needs assessment tool that they provide. There are some questions on pages 10 and 11 that may help guide our conversations with partners- even though some of these questions are targeted towards clients.
Please feel free to make alterations and suggestions for the next meeting. If I have missed the mark, please let me know.
Regards,
Amber Toole Abdourahamane

I forgot to add these questions mentioned at the previous meeting, as well:
• What would bring you to something like this?
• What is the role of your organization on addressing poverty in the community?
• How can volunteers be more strategically placed?
• What are some of the gaps?
Hi Amber, thanks very much for putting this information together. I’d like to discuss at our next meeting but I don’t have anything on my calendar. Do we have something scheduled?
Thanks
Rich Crespo
Hi Rich,
Attached are the meeting minutes. I had just sent it out to del...@googlegroups.com and not to individuals.

Ah ok. Actually, I don’t think I am on the distribution list for meeting minutes anymore. Can someone please double check?
Unfortunately, I can’t make it on 11/25 but I look forward to the following meeting.
Thanks
