A Message from Deputy Secretary Ahrens to CPS & Employment Service Providers

Dear friends and colleagues,

Thank you so much for your overwhelming response to our invitation to submit innovative program models you have developed for community participation supports and employment opportunities. The energy, enthusiasm, and innovation you are establishing is impressive.

Within ODP we have brought together a review committee that will begin to work on selection of proposals on a regional basis, and contacting agencies to begin developing the webinar series. Due to the overwhelming response, we are closing submissions as of this date. Please remain patient with us while we conduct this review. We will be in touch with the contacts specified in the response form you completed as we move forward this spring and early summer.

Thank you for all your work and dedication to the individuals and families we serve.

Sincerely,
Kristin Ahrens
Deputy Secretary
