Big changes are coming for Ohioans who are 60+ and Ohioans with disabilities. The Ohio Department of Medicaid has announced changes to streamline the Medicaid program by eliminating spend-down after August 2016. The changes will bring a greater number of people into Medicaid but will also result in some people losing their benefits. The transition is complex, continues to evolve, and holds severe repercussions for many Ohioans’ health care coverage.
Speakers include:
-Jeanne Carroll, Assistant Director, Ohio Jobs and Family Services Directors' Association
-Beth Kowalczyk, Chief Policy Officer, Ohio Association of Area Agencies on Aging
-Teresa Lampl, Associate Director, The Ohio Council of Behavioral Health and Family Services Providers
-Steve Wagner, Executive Director, Universal Health Care Action Network
-Zach Reat, Director of Work Support Initiatives
The discussion focused on how supporters in Ohio can communicate with conference committee members to strengthen families and communities in the final process of Ohio's 2014-15 budget.
Advocates focused on early learning, long term care, developmental disabilities, and food assistance. Speakers also talked about a possible pathway to expand healthcare coverage to Ohioans through two new Medicaid reform bills in the House and the Senate.

On July 1st, Ohio became the first state to implement a comprehensive case management and employment program (CCMEP) to increase access to education and work opportunities for Ohio youth. By integrating aspects of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Ohio is creating a common experience for youth with the goal of improving education and employment outcomes.
Speakers include:
- Douglas Lumpkin, Director, Ohio Office of Human Services Innovation
- Roxane Somerlot, Director, Marion County Job and Family Services
- Angela Carnahan, Workforce Development Administrator, Licking County Department of Job and Family Services

Grant Writing in 2021: What’s Different and What’s the Same?TechSoup
2020 was quite a year! There was not much “business as usual” and we all had to adapt to new ways of doing things. Nonprofit organizations were significantly impacted by the epidemic and not only suffered from a lack of funds, but also saw an increase in people needing services. How do we move forward in our grant writing strategies in 2021? During this webinar, we discuss trends in giving, what has changed, and what remains the same so we can weather the storm and continue providing important, mission-driven services.
Are you looking to expand your funding sources? This
session will help you find information on foundations that
might fund your club’s projects. You’ll also learn how to
outline measurable objectives and identify some critical
components of a successful grant proposal.
Making Big Bets: How changes in volunteer engagement strategies pay off!VolunteerMatch
What volunteers want to do with their time, how they want to get involved and make a difference is changing. For many organizations this means that leaders of volunteer engagement are scrambling to re-think volunteer work what it means to be a volunteer in their organizations. Creating new opportunities for volunteers can be challenging - how do you create these new opportunities, how do gain buy-in from paid staff and existing volunteers, how do you know it's working?
Join Carla Lehn, Library Programs Consultant for the California State Library and Beth Steinhorn, President of JFFIxler Group has they talk about what they've learned about transforming volunteer engagement programs. Beth will share lessons she's learned from engaging Boomers as volunteers and the importance of creating impact-driven opportunities, and Carla will share how she's transformed what it means to be a library volunteer and how she worked with paid staff to make this happen.
Both Carla and Beth have written chapters in VolunteerMatch’s new book Volunteer Engagement 2.0: Ideas and Insights Changing the World. This book explores the innovative volunteer engagement approaches that are reshaping nonprofits and their communities, and shows how you can bring these approaches to your own organization.

Oregon’s economy is both booming and struggling, and the pressure is on for housing markets across the state. The problem shows up as a lack of housing stock, high rents, unaffordable homeownership, sub-standard housing quality. People with low incomes, people experiencing a disability, and especially people of color experience the greatest barriers to housing opportunity. Hear what the data says about growing wealth disparity and housing opportunity gaps, and add your voice to this discussion about what housing needs are in your community.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
