Client Advocacy Committee has reorganized!

Thanks to some highly motivated client volunteers, the Client Advocacy Committee will continue to function. The newly reorganized Client Advocacy Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 2:00 PM in the Community Center and their next meeting is set for February 8, 2011.  Clients are invited to address the committee during the public comments portion of the meeting.  Clients are also invited to submit comments and suggestions about programs or services offered at D.A.P. to the committee through the suggestion box located at the lobby reception desk, by email at clientcom@desertaidsproject.org.  As you can see from the prior article, client comments are valued by the committee and D.A.P. and your suggestions can make a difference!
