The Purpose is to bring together City, State, and National agencies with volunteer Agencies, provide direction, and inform about volunteer organizations. SAVOAD guiding principles are central to achieving effective response to disaster. Those principles defined are: Communication We will periodically publish and disseminate information through directories or member organizations and resources. Cooperation We will seek to create a climate for cooperation by meeting together periodically and sharing information. Coordination We will seek to have common understanding about how we serve, and develop advocacy and liaison with public officials. Education We seek to increase awareness on two levels. First, we will seek to have a mutual understanding of each organization providing disaster services and, secondarily, we will seek to inform the public (especially public officials) regarding the work of member organizations. Planning We seek to be better prepared for disasters when they occur by planning in advance ways in which we may better serve those who are affected by disaster. -> President - Suzanne Carter, 2-1-1 Texas, United Way Help Line � Preside at meetings � Act as spokesperson, representative for SAVOAD � Provide leadership � Convene meetings � Delegate tasks. 1st Vice President - Camille Simmons, San Antonio Baptist Association � Planning chairman of SAVOAD � Develop and implement plans for members to work together effectively � Fulfill the responsibilities the President if the President is not available 2nd Vice President � Charles Dennis, San Antonio Food Bank � Membership chairman of SAVOAD � Encourage organizations (regular and affiliate) to join and to actively participate in SAVOAD � Fulfill the responsibilities of the President if the President and 1st Vice President cannot perform their duties. 3rd Vice President � Karen Smithhart, American Red Cross, San Antonio Chapter � Program chairman � Promote and present programs related to the work of the organization � Fulfill the responsibilities of the President if the President and 1st Vice President cannot perform the Secretary � Harvey Howell, Mission Presbytery, First Presbyterian Church and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance National Response Team � Keep minutes of the meetings and a permanent record of actions taken by SAVOAD � Maintain a roster of member organizations including the names of the representative of those organizations. � "Call the roll� of member organizations to facilitate the voting process when asked by the President SAVOAD EMAIL CONTACTS: Camille Simmons 1st Vice President simmons_camille@yahoo.com Charles Dennis 2nd Vice President cdennis@safoodbank.org Harvey Howell Secretary harveyhhowell@earthlink.net Karen Smithhart 3rd Vice President SmithhartK@saredcross.org Suzanne Carter President SCarter@unitedwaysatx.org Mission SAVOAD's mission is to bring together voluntary organizations that provide services during times of disaster so we can all provide a more effective response to people affected through Communication, Cooperation, Coordination, Education, and Planning.
