The CIS national office is helping to facilitate communication among CIS of New Orleans staff. We have provided conferencing capabilities so the staff, now dispersed in Louisiana, California and Texas, can convene and regroup. In the weeks and months ahead, CIS of News Orleans staff will be challenged to rethink how they will function, and how they can position the affiliate as a resource for rebuilding. Executive staff meetings are being held and various options are being considered. Executive Director Donna Cavato has returned to her home in New Orleans, and will be proposing solutions to fit the current circumstances. This website will provide periodic updates on the New Orleans affiliate.
