Task force of the Healthy Marathon County Coalition:
The task force is called “Concerns About The Cost of Healthcare”
(CATCH). They have sponsored a few community forums, but as
providers and employers, find consumers (patients) still do not
understand their benefits, how to access the health care system, and,
as a group, very difficult to reach.
Barb Ochs
Barb Ochs joined the meeting representing CATCH. The charge is to
inform people on the costs of health care. She distributed information
on Healthy Marathon County. The reason she is speaking to
CWSHRM is that they are striving to get to HR professionals who can
help spread the word to their employees. Perhaps we could
collaborate with them to develop additional tools for the CWSHRM
membership?
The Board members felt that it would be a positive thing to partner
with them in some way either this Fall or for 2012. We decided that
we will ask Barb to present a 10-minute overview of “Healthy
Marathon County” at the September CWSHRM meeting – Sue will
contact her to arrange. Because it is tied to United Way, we could
also remind people that it is campaign kickoff time.

Senior Liaison
One Day to Make A Difference 2011 Program:
Robin
We hosted the interview and resume writing workshop at the Career
Closet on June 10. We had nine CWSHRM volunteers assist those in
need. We had seven people attend the workshop and were also
able to assist the Career Closet with sorting donations.
We still have grant money that we need to spend on an HR program
for small businesses – need to discuss topic and timing.
Workforce Readiness
Update (submitted in advance from Kim):
Kim
Mock Interviews for DCE Business Education
This initiative worked out very well...we had alternative high school
students go through an individual interview and then Mrs. Olson’s
students went through a group interview (2-3 students at the same
time rotating questions). Alison Shepard with Kelly Services assisted
with a student who is in jail, the student was released and the student
was allowed to go to Kelly Services so the student could finish out
their career program with our Career Specialist Rose Matthiae.
Positive feedback was received from students.
Mock Interviewers:
Kelly Keding – Eastbay (CWSHRM member)
Donna Hejtmanek - DCE
Melissa Zollpreister - IGA
Les Lee - Globe University
Amy Nelson – Eastbay (CWSHRM member)

Krissy will send information to the non-CWSHRM members shown
above to promote membership.
Kim provided a very detailed written description of her work with
WorkKeys and how this fits in with the overall Workforce Readiness
Advocate role. The written description could be open to
interpretation; therefore, Sue will contact Kim and ask that she
present her recommendations for the future of the Workforce
Readiness Advocate initiatives in person to the Board at the July
meeting.
