Director o 360.740.1223 F 360.740.1438 rDD 360.740.1480 Rachel Wood, M.D., M.P.H. Health Officer � I • LEWIS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 360 NW North Street Chehalis, WA 98532 I am seeking appointment to the Veterans Advisory Board for Lewis County. Name: Frank L. Corbin Address: 438 Kirkland Rd, Chehalis,WA 98532 Phone: (503) 201-3333 Service Organization: None* Why do you want to serve on the Veterans Advisory Board? I am a US Navy Veteran with four years of honorable service. I have supported Veterans during nearly 25 years of pastoral ministry,and during my 14 year tenure with the Department of Veterans Affairs where I served Veterans as a Veteran. I served during the Cold-War but not during a period of war. I earned an Expeditionary medal, Good Conduct medal,and Sea Service Deployment medal. I suffered no injuries during my enlistment so I did not qualify for any VA disability benefits.I was a Radioman E-4 (RM3)at the time of discharge after being stationed two years in Subic Bay, Philippines and approximately two years onboard the USS Camden(AOE2)which was homeported in Bremerton, WA. • My leadership experience operating and maintaining a communications center were instrumental in helping me develop a leadership style that gathered the input and support of those who worked with me. My experience will be a benefit to Lewis County as I wish to help seek solutions to Veteran problems such as homelessness, substance abuse, under/unemployment,and re-integration. *I never joined a"service"organization because I couldn't qualify.However, this past week I heard from a friend that the rules and qualifications for joining have recently changed so I may look into the various organizations to see if there's one I may be interested in. c:\userslfrank corbinldocumentsllcvab application 2020.docx II; • y � What skills, service background,or volunteer experience will you bring the Board? • I've had the privilege to work for the US Department of Veterans Affairs(USDVA)for 14 years. Here, I briefly list the duties I performed: 1. At the Veteran Benefits Administration(VBA)Portland Regional Office(PRO)I processed Veteran claims for benefits as a Veteran Service Representative. 2. At the VBA PRO I worked as a Staff Assistant(SA) in the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment(VRE)division primarily in the areas of procurement and contracting as a Contracting Officer(CO)and as a Contracting Officer Representative (COR), data collection and analysis,Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor(VRC)performance appraisals, SWOT analysis,and k authored White Papers, executive summaries,program manuals, SAO's,and system enhancement implementation and tracking to name a few. 3. At VBA Central Office(VBACO)in VRE Service(VRES) in Washington,DC, I was a Program Analyst(PA)and I oversaw the implementation of congressionally appropriated funds for the benefit of Veterans under the VBA VRE program nation-wide. I also served as a COR for contracts and as an assistant COR for the VetSuccess national contract.VRES obtained a new system called Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition(OBIEE)which provided a powerful tool to access, gather, and analyze data from the national data warehouse. I learned to use a number of the systems' functionalities for regular use in report preparation for senior VBA management. I successfully worked on cross-functional teams to implement systems and programs and I was the lead on a number of national calls in support of new VBA programs and initiatives. I have had training in process improvement,program development,implementation,evaluation,and change. 4. My final position with the VA was as a PA for the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Workplace Violence Prevention Program(WVPP). This Washington,DC based program was physically located in Vancouver, Washington where we"tele- worked."As a PA, I managed the budget,expenditures,and formulated basic analysis of the new program budget. I was also a system administrator helping the c:luserslfrank corbinldocuments\lcvab application 2020.docx team design,build, deploy,and evaluate a new data collection system that collected data on incidents of workplace violence so that programs and education l materials could be developed to train VA staff in how to handle escalation within the workplace. This cross-functional team comprised of mental health professionals, medical professionals, VA police, and VA management helped inform the data collection system development and ongoing system improvement and this team also provided valuable input in curriculum development. I drafted, negotiated,and finalized for the Director's signature program MOD's, A Interagency Agreements, and other such contracts for services necessary for a program development and implementation. 1 I appreciate being considered for this board. If you have any additional questions,I would be most happy to answer them. Thank you!

Committee Reports By Law Committee—Nothing to report Communication Committee—Rico Jail Committee—Heidi saw 3 inmates at the jail. • Old Business - How to determine who is a Veteran and receives SNAP benefits for the Fanner Market benefits. Are we going to be serving ALL Veterans or just Veterans eligible for VRF? We could have a punch card or a card with my signature to show they are approved. Should we put a cap for benefits for each month? Since it is going to be a 2 for 1 benefit, we could do a total of$100 a month. - Together for Veterans program. Heidi informed the board someone else needs to take this project on if they want to see it happen in Lewis County. This needs to be separate from the Veterans Advisory Board. Rico and Frank are interested in the program and are willing to take it on. Heidi will email Katy and Gina from WDVA to get them connected with Rico and Frank. • New Business - Heidi presented her housing idea for our Strategic Plan for 2020. Put an RFP out for housing. Example would be, we have this much money for 4 units and will pay a certain amount for case management. It is a 2 year transitional housing program. Veterans who are homeless will be able to stay in an apartment rent free for 2 years max. During that time,the client would be under intensive case management. They would see a social worker to work on housing barriers,how to be a good renter(Rent Well class), how to budget, and whatever other barriers the client has that can effect housing. There would also be a payee service. The client would also have to pay"rent"which would end up going into a savings account. That money would then be used as their down payment for their own rental. There will also be a board that will meet to go over the application and vote on who moves into the living spaces. One of the board members needs to be a member of the VAB. George made a motion to move forward with housing plan. Marie second. Motion passed. - We received an application for a new applicant who would like to join as a voting member, Frank Corbin. Board voted on approving Frank Corbin's application. Marie made a motion to accept Frank's application. Rico second. Motion passed. - The board voted in Jim Marden as the new Chair until June and Marie Shankle as Vice- Chair. Marie will take over as Chair once Jim leaves in June. - We talked about building a relationship with the CBOC. Possibly inviting the manager or someone to come participate in our meetings. Some of the nurses don't know about the ride share program and what other services we provide. - Heidi informed the board she will be going out to East Lewis county more so they can get more needed services met. The Morton PD Dept. has a space available for service providers to set up and meet with clients out there. Marie suggested having a Lewis County Stand Down. Which will be in the works. Next meeting—The next regularly scheduled meeting will be April 1st 2020 at 10am in the PHSS Conference room.
