Regional Forum
Regional Forum is a quarterly roundtable for all elected officials from members of the QVCOG community. Developed in Spring of 2020 in response suspension of in-person meetings as a result of the COVID-19. The development of the Regional Forum was a positive change in that the QVCOG committed to increased engagement through use of technology.
