These committee will <br />do needs assessments, focus groups, initiate planning for services at the county level and identify <br />opportunities for improvement. The information gathered from the county committees will feed <br />into the Health and Human Services Board for final action on any recommendations. <br />Responding to the wishes of the Board, as Chairperson of the Health and Human Services Board <br />I am asking significant people in the community to serve on these committees. <br />We certainly need input from the county commission and would appreciate an appointment from <br />the Indian River County Commission. Commissioner John Tippen has expressed a concern for <br />health and human services of the citizens District 15 and we would welcome him as a member of <br />the Indian River County Committee. <br />SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 <br />
