CMHC Governing Board Roundtable–Moderator, Ann Fritz
“OK, you’re On the Board – Now What?”
This is an interactive session, a tradition at the Conference, will be of interest to CMHC governing board members, regardless of their tenure, and of particular interest to those who want to further explore the uniqueness of CMHCs and their boards. The special nature of the CMHCs attracts volunteers who recognize the uniqueness of the public mental health Mission. This session may help one learn more about what draws them to be a mental health volunteer, or what it is that consistently motivates them to remain on the board. What is it that only you, as a CMHC board member, can do? While building support for the Mission and advocating formental health can be done by many, the mental health center board member makes a special contribution in this arena, a contribution that only he or she as a volunteer and leader can make; and it’s highly respected by target audiences in the community. How would one know that a community is mentally healthy? Board members live in communities and see them through a special lens, and are in a position to help guide public policy related to building healthier communities. Relationships with local organizations (commissions, courts, schools, law enforcement, etc.) can be developed and nurtured by many, but it is the CMHC board member who approaches this important task in his/her own way, from that special vantage point. Sharing how we each do this will be our focus. What are the other unique activities that only CMHC board member can do? Let’s Talk!!!
What are the hot-topic, current trends happening right now?
This session will also provide participants with a forum for discussing issues happening around us, right now. We hear about integrated care, health homes, managed care, supervised living, access to hospital care, access to health insurance, and many other issues. Here’s a chance to comment on what your CMHC is doing in these or other areas that you are proud of. And, this will be a time to ask questions. Participants will be encouraged to share information about their agencies’ programs. Let’s Talk!!!
