Getting started and looking very serious
A great party was had by all at HSCO's meeting and John Mullin's 'after party'! Ryan Fisher has been elected as the new Co-Chair, Andy Smith will be joining the Leadership Team as an at-large member and John Mullin will join the Leadership Team as the outgoing Co-Chair.
Regan Gray, George Okulitch and their baby Isabelle joined in for the celebrations, Patty O'Sullivan joined us as she retires from DHS (and welcome Sonya Fischer, the new legislative liaison!) and we celebrated John Mullin's great work as HSCO Co-Chair over the last several years.
Memories and thanks to John for his work with the coalition came from all across the globe!
Dr. Bruce Goldberg chimed in from the Newark airport to give his best and thanks to John and wished he could be there to sing the "John Mullin Coalition Building Blues..."
Rep. Carolyn Tomei sent her thanks for years of work with the coalition. Erinn Kelley-Siel mentioned the work of HSCO in reforming TANF in 2007, Terry Rogers, co-founder of HSCO, sent her best wishes from Washington D.C. and many others chimed in with thanks and happy memories.
We even had an email from the Governor's staff at the last minute sending in their thanks to John for his work on behalf of all Oregonians.
Special thanks to John for his fabulous work with the coalition over the years. We look forward to many happy memories to come as we work for the best of all Oregonians. Cheers!
Join us to celebrate John Mullin's tenure as Co-Chair of the Human Services Coalition of Oregon!
John helped start HSCO more than 25 years ago and in the years since he has been a tireless advocate for all Oregonians, particularly our most vulnerable citizens. John will be stepping down as Co-Chair in June and we'd like to take a moment to celebrate his great work.
Please note: John is not retiring! John will continue to work for the Oregon Law Center and pending support from the coalition will join HSCO's Leadership Team. Its also important to note that John could step into the Co-Chair position again in the future, but its always great to have an excuse to party. :)
We will be heading to Macadam's Bar & Grill immediately following our monthly HSCO meeting. We hope you can join us in celebrating one of Oregon's great advocates. Here are the details:
