Dear QOVF Members,
QOVF members shared their
thoughts about the Vision Statement and we listened; now we need your help
again.
In August the Board of
Directors approved a revised Vision Statement—the Mission Statement remains the
same.
Revised QOVF Vision Statement Creating Awarding Quilts of
Valor as tangible expressions of gratitude for every service members and
veterans touched by war (added).
QOVF
Mission Statement: To
cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing
Quilts of Valor.
The major theme that emerged
from the feedback was that there was more clarity needed on what “Touched by
War” means. Here is the Touched
by War presentation from Conference 2019.
Here is where we need your
help. We are asking our members to share their thoughts with the working group
using the on-line questionnaire.
Last day to complete
questionnaire: October 22, 2019.
The Board approved a working
group to address the phrase “touched by war” and how to incorporate this into
the nomination-award process. The working group will have a core group of
members with differing perspectives, including veterans/service members, to
gain further understanding and general consensus on the phrase and how
incorporate the examples/guidelines into the nomination-request process and
nomination-request form (nationally and locally).
No names or email addresses
are needed to provide feedback; however, if you wish to contact us, or have us
contact you, please either add your contact information to the questionnaire or
send an email to touchedbywar@qovf.org
Thank you for your dedication
to the mission to bring comfort and healing to our service members and veterans
touched by war through Quilts of Valor.
Take care,
The Touched by War Working Group
