Discussion ensued regarding SILC support for this type of activity. A Subcommittee was formed to build a proposal for supporting statewide education/training through the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation and present in April. Members included Barrett, Prokop, and Ward-Solomon
Ward-Solomon provided updates on the Virginia Easy Living Program and indicated that it may fit with the DPOR outreach and education efforts.
