Marguerite Salazar SmartHome Tour

We had a great tour of the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome yesterday with Marguerite Salazar, Regional Director for Region VIII of the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Joining Director Salazar were Doyle Forrestal, Regional Outreach Specialist for Region VIII of the US Department of Health and Human Services, and Todd Saliman, from Policy Matters. The tour guides were Imagine! CEO Mark Emery, SmartHomes guru Greg Wellems, SmartHome Project Manager Sterling Wind, and Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome Site Supervisor Chantelle Tweten.

Director Salazar asked some insightful questions, including our favorite question: “How can I help?” The tour guides gave some concrete examples of how she can help champion our goal of using technology to serve some of our most vulnerable citizen, and Director Salazar promised to share information with her boss, US Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius.

Thanks for taking a tour, Director Salazar!
