History of COGS
Founded 1991Inspired and Founded by Nathan B. Miller, Marketing, Taylor Manor Hospital Center and Kathryn Chrysal, R.N. Harmony Hall Retirement Community. Founding Board MembersNate Miller, President | PrecedentAccording to the IRS case-manager who handled COGS' application, the Coalition was the first organization of its type to receive such recognition. The IRS case manager explained that considerably more time was given to evaluation of our application because there were no "precedents" within IRS records with which to compare criteria. The Coalition thus became a precedent for future like organizations. Board of Directors
The first Board of Directors met at Taylor Manor Hospital Center in Ellicott City but moved shortly after founding to the Florence Bain Senior Center, then to Harmony Hall Retirement Community for a year or so. The Visiting Nurses Association in the Dorsey Hall Village Center hosted Board Meetings for a year or so until the Boards' last move to Heartlands Retirement Community, for the longest period of time and where it now meets.
