WORK PROCESSES The Texas Vets4COS Director must play a key leadership role in ensuring Coordinators of these six very diverse projects communicate with one another and share resources and are able to access outside resources. As with all COS Coalitions, the primary source of manpower comes from the VAs within the various HDs across the State. However Veteran volunteers should be actively recruited as VAs for COS, when possible, or asked to participate in the project of their choice. The projects will rely heavily on the input from various state and local civic organizations for information and, thus, the COS State Director working with the Texas Vets4COS Director will need to work closely to acquire/collaborate with outside resources. MEETINGS The TXV Coalition Leadership Team will meet bi-monthly via a dedicated TXV Slack Channel, Zoom or other communication means to review progress within each Coordinator’s area, share learnings and improvement opportunities and develop/revise plans for the next three rolling months. Weekly communication will occur among Coordinators, VAs and other Key Interfaces via phone, Slack, ZOOM and email. Due to the high-profile nature of Veterans activities, it will be important that the Social Media Coordinator establishes an active COS web page and an external FB page that communicates the mission and progress of Texas Vets4COS.
