Elaine Green PWV Chair 2019-2020 --
As usual, my tenure as PWV Chair started in October at the Year End Event/Annual Meeting, where we gathered to eat, drink, and celebrate the past year’s accomplishments of our organization and it’s new class of members. Little did I know that event, along with a couple of great Affiliation Gatherings, would be the last “usual” things about my time as Chair.
Yes, 2020 was an unprecedented year. We gathered in January for a roast/retirement party, to send off our beloved USFS liaison Kevin Cannon. Then in March we made the gut-renching decision to suspend all recruitment activities due to Covid. Soon thereafter we realized we would not be able to hold Kick off Night or Spring Training or any other training or social activities. The Board and several committees continued to meet, mostly virtually.
But most of us never saw other PWVs in person from then on. That was hard for a group as social as we are!
Our Board of Directors made a smooth transition from meeting in the Forest Service Conference room to meeting virtually, another first for PWV. The Board took on a number of issues from updating our written policies, operationalizing our Strategic Plan, to working on the problem of notifying PWVs in the field when an emergency such as the Cameron Peak Fire is creating dangerous conditions.

At the recent virtual Board of Directors meeting, actions to protect our members from Covid-19 were considered. As you may know, exposure is predicted to spike in June and both the CDC and government have recommended canceling events with 10 or more people.
