Frank Blancero shares his COVID story as a Staten Islander from Dongan Hills with his background as a Program Director of Staten Island Community Organizations Active in Disaster (SI COAD).
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, SI COAD has responded to community needs by sharing valuable information and resources across our borough, by collaborating among our coalition partners to distribute PPE, test kits, and other life-saving supplies, and by engaging Staten Islanders so that we all do our part in keeping Staten Island strong and safe. Over the last six months, SI COAD has worked closely with NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), the Fund for Public Health in New York, and a number of local partners to take part in the Vaccine Equity Partner Engagement (VEPE) project, as highlighted in this video.
Thanks to NYC DOHMH, the Fund for Public Health in New York, the Staten Island Partnership for Community Wellness (SIPCW), the Pediatric Disaster Coalition (PDC), the Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Staten Island, and Super Health Pharmacy!

Remote Team Management: How to Drive Results While Building Cohesion
Nov. 22, 2022
10 AM – 12 PM
Remote and/or hybrid work is becoming a reality that some love and some hate. As a leader in your organization, how can you make sure that no matter where and how your staff works that they do so collaboratively, effectively, and in line with your organizational values? In this workshop, we will talk through what individuals and the organization need to make this a reality. We will discuss the psychological needs for operating seamlessly together, tools that can assist in building team relationships, and techniques for running effective meetings. As a bonus we will include a method for how your team can get to know each other right down to the personal values level and what that knowledge can do for your organization.
This workshop is being presented in collaboration with the Association of Nonprofit Specialists, with special thanks to their sponsor: Nonprofit Solutions Network.
Key Takeaways:
- Consider the mindsets, skillsets, and toolsets needed for the working structure you’ve agreed on
