Old Business

Update on the GWEP-IL “CATCH ON” Project (Susan Real)- Susan explained the reimbursement process used to manage the GWEP grant and to compensate Sheila Greuel. ECIAAA, acting as IAS's fiscal agent, submits bills to Rush on behalf of IAS. Then ECIAAA submits those same bills to IAS for reimbursement, which allows ECIAAA to pay Greuel. Rush reimburses IAS.

GWEP-IL Program update Greuel)- A new set of modules with a variety of topics will be coming out soon! This is another opportunity for AAA staff to learn and earn rebates for their AAA. Healthy Ideas trainings are scheduled for September 19 & 20 with eight (8) CCUs currently interested. Ms. Greuel is working on the budget for this training with Rush. AAAs were reminded to have their staff identify the appropriate AAA at registration. Last, Washington University has sent a letter of recognition confirming Ms. Greuel's training credentials!

IL Community Health and Aging Collaborative Update- IAS is a member of the Collaborative and is entitled to representation on the Collaborative Board of Directors. Unfortunately, John Smith is no longer able to continue as representative. Joy Paeth has agreed to assume that responsibility. Smith did provide a report on the ICHAC's recent activities, which included" a variety of applications to underwrite new and expanding capacity and program initiatives, the addition of other evidence-based programs, i.e., Fit and Strong; and the next ICHAC Board meeting scheduled in June at ECIAAA in Bloomington.

ESP Report (Lavin)- Special notice to the discussion on p. 4 re: research for a more permanent EDP system. Atlanta Regional Commission has replaced ESP. We appear to be waiting on the State to make a decision. Is this reasonable? Perhaps, IAS should send out a few queries, maybe Innovative Data Systems.

Open discussion- Is there a need for both IAS and I4A? 501 C3 vs. 501-C4. After some discussion re: the purpose and appropriate roles for each unit, it was decided that a need for GATA and OAA training existed. MOTION: That the grants management training discussed be done through IAS. (ESKILDSEN/Lavin) Unanimous approval.

Adjournment- Having completed the agenda, this meeting of Illinois Aging Services, Inc. was adjourned by consensus at 5:02 p.m.
