Newly promoted CalFire JDSF advisor will facilitate Wednesday’s JAG meeting

FORT BRAGG, 11/14/23 — The Jackson Demonstration State Forest advisory group (JAG) has a new facilitator who intends to follow standard meeting procedures. Emily Smith, a 26-year veteran with Cal Fire, will facilitate Wednesday as the JAG meets at First Presbyterian Church in Fort Bragg at 9 a.m. After a chaotic meeting in September that lasted all day but got nothing accomplished on the agenda, this time the meeting will follow standard protocols, Smith said.

People will be asked to speak only once until others have taken their turns, come to the front of the room, and every comment will be timed.
