Start Date: 2021-06-29Description: Monthly MA VOAD Zoom meeting. 23 member agencies participated. Membership requirements, member responsibilities and bylaw update were discussed.

Atlantic coast hurricane activity is predicted to be 60% above normal! The American Red Cross in Massachusetts is resuming congregate shelter settings as of July 1 (back to pre-Covid mass sheltering, rather than current individual-hotel-rooms for victims/survivors).
