Volunteers named to lead new childcare effort; board asks for mission and membership
Summary
Orlando Lewis agreed to chair a volunteer team (with Tom from the chamber and Doug McGill) to draft a mission and recommended membership for the childcare subcommittee; the board asked for a clear deliverable rather than an open-ended group.
The board identified an initial volunteer team to design the childcare subcommittee's work and membership.
Orlando Lewis of Beaufort Jasper EOC accepted an ask to serve and suggested the subcommittee begin with a community needs assessment to target services appropriately. The moderator thanked the volunteers and said the board expects the trio to prepare a mission statement and to recommend representatives from schools, hospitals and local jurisdictions.
Board members emphasized the need to keep membership manageable while ensuring representation from both counties and municipalities. The volunteers were asked to present a recommended membership list and mission so the board can decide whether to expand the panel or rely on outside experts and staff as resources.
