    WEEK IN REVIEW -  May 28 (ZOOM)      
   Program:   North Central Accountable Community of Health
With Linda Evans-Parlette and John Schapman
[password -  7m#p6542  ]
 
The speakers were introduced by President Mike.  Linda is a long-time club member, a former state senator,  and is currently the Executive Director of the North Central Accountable Community of Health (NCACH).  John Schapman is Deputy Director and a member of Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary.  
Listen to audio HERE.   View the PowerPoint HERE.
 
NCACH is one of the nine Accountable Communities of Health coordinating Medicaid Transformation Projects across Washington State. NCACH brings together community members, cross-sector partners, and other experts. Working together, these partners explore new approaches to improve health and wellness through healthcare transformation projects.
The mission of the NCACH is to improve the health of the North Central region’s communities and the people who live in them, improve health care access, quality, and the experience of care, and lower per capita health care costs in the North Central region which includes Chelan, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan counties (the “North Central Regional Service Area”).
 
On March 16, 2020 NCACH made the decision to pause its current projects and join the Incident Command systems of each of our local health jurisdictions (LHJ) to assist with COVID-19 pandemic response. We have been working with each LHJ (Chelan-Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan Counties) assisting with their individual community mitigation response needs and working with local partners to develop tools for communities practicing social isolation, providing outreach, and crafting messaging to encourage our communities to “Stay Home, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy.”

   UPCOMING PROGRAMS   
 
     June 11  -  CHELAN FIRE CHIEF, DISTRICT ONE      
With Brian Brett & Britt Dudek
 
Chief Brian Brett comes to Chelan County Fire District 1 with 26 years of fire service experience.  He began his fire service career here, at CCFD1, and is excited to return after having worked his way through the ranks in the valley.  Brian’s most recent position was with our neighboring fire department, Douglas County Fire District 2, where he was the Assistant Chief functioning as the Fire Marshal.  This experience followed by a year long mentorship with Fire Chief Mike Burnett has positioned Brian to continue the success of CCFD1.
 
     June 18  -  SAUDI-AMERICAN JUSTICE PROJECT      
With Bethany Alhaidari & Gil Sparks
 
Bethany Alhaidari is a PhD candidate in International Human Rights Law at the National University of Ireland, with a Masters in Middle East & Islamic Studies from the American University of Paris. She has spent nearly a decade on the ground in Saudi Arabia addressing complex human rights issues. She is a consulting human rights advocate for the Center for International Policy in Washington D.C., and has recently founded the Saudi American Justice Project (SAJP) in Washington State.
 
The organization seeks to provide advocacy and support to American mothers and their children stuck in Saudi Arabia.”The program will introduce some of the findings of my PhD research in Saudi Arabia, my experience there in opening the first female & foreign owned start-up company, and my own struggle with the Saudi legal system and human rights violations, which led to me leaving it all behind. I will highlight how we were able to advocate and eventually get out, and how the Saudi American Justice Project serves to help other mothers and their children in similar circumstances.

 COVID STORIES
Hello members,
 
As a service club, we need to spotlight our service to the community and the world.  Can you please share with me what you are doing during this time to make a difference.  I know the majority of us are not just sitting at home watching Netflix 24/7.    Many of us are still working,  making masks, reaching out to people or supporting small business, etc.    Please send me an email at chaoscontrolmarketing@gmail.com with the details of how you and your family are engaged to make a difference in our pandemic world.  I would love concrete facts and photos speak volumes.  I will be sharing on our social media channels.  If you want to share what you are doing, but don’t want to be identified, just let me know!    Thank you for helping me show the world why today is a great day to be a Rotarian!   

Thanks! 
Jill Leonard
