This is a good time
for us all to come together and
begin in my mind to really hone
in on the issues that affects us in
the region
In 96 we developed this partnership
workshop and we new we had
to have concise issues that can
be pushed forward for resolutions
so this issue papers that both our
state partners and our region
six staff have developed to the years
I rather see it go through the state
because every year federal come
to the state to monitor those grants.
They are one pager so that anyone
can get the just of what that issue is
the background of it and a
recommendation for resolution.
Its very important to come to visit
the regions specially coming down to
region six today they actually
have a partnership conference with
the regional directors and the staff of the
states in the region to talk about
how to work together specifically
on partnership issues. We really
look at that on how to continue to
build the team
I think is obvious that none of us
have all the resources and all
the financial capability that I
wish we did, so we need to leverage
on each other we have to have more
partners more friends more neighbors
they can help us out in a time of
disaster and we can be there to
help them out.
This is a great chance to meet all
my partners from all states its also
to become smarter with the folks
of FEMA region six they’ve
already been helpful in my job this provides
a face to face opportunity
and a chance to learn and ask questions
I think anytime you can get people
together to communicate to share ideas
ideas to look at issues using the
term bottom up to get their input that’s good
I think its important because
this is a chance for the region
to all come together and look
at ways we can become more
efficient and more effective a key
point behind all of that is that we
do things as partners and being able
to do it at this level here I think
its very very important because
we get the grass roots folks coming
together with new ideas and new
ways to move forward
