Because of the August Recess it seems I was the only one on the call with our Regional Coordinator Allison Gallaher. We talked about the request we've had from Crickett Nicovich of the RESULTS Washington office to help the STEP program at Cornell. STEP is a group of students committed to ending poverty. They do a lot of project work and are looking for training in advocacy -- and the Cedar Rapids RESULTS group was recommended to them for this training. It will start once students return in late August. They would like to help with our projects in return for the training, so I was thinking they might like to help with the November bread buttering.
Then Allison and I talked about the RESULTS Diversity Task Force. Since Monica Jolles in Chapel Hill, NC is also going to head up a Pilot City Project program, Allison suggested Monica and I develop a support network for the two cities and report back to the task force. I've made the commitment to contact two more communities of color by our next Diversity Task Force call on August 20.
Jeffrey Sachs, economist, will speak on foreign aid reform on the monthly conference call this Saturday. Election cycle items will also be featured.
