    APPENDIX D
    Greater Columbus LGBTQ Health Coalition
    Ad Hoc Committee: Seal of Approval Program
    10/20/14 Committee Meeting Update
    The Seal Committee is working on finding out whether other cities or communities have
    anything like what we want to establish, and if they do, review their criteria, so that we can
    establish our own criteria. We had hoped to develop an app, but since it could require about
    $10-12,000, we cannot do that.
