[KeyStoneChapter] FW: PA State Board of Vocational Rehabilitation 2022 Meeting Schedule

[Joseph Drenth]

Hi Brian,
 
I am not sure yet, but it will probably be on a meeting-by-meeting basis depending on how many board members are able to attend in person. If a meeting has a virtual viewing option I will certainly let everyone know. 
 
You could also request virtual viewing capability from Cheryl Novak so OVR will know that the public wants to participate virtually. If enough people request this option then perhaps the virtual component will become standard. Cheryl’s email was in the email I forwarded and is as follows: chenovak at pa.gov <mailto:chenovak at pa.gov> 
 
Thanks,
Joe
