CARES V1 OCM Advisory Workgroup

The purpose of the CARES V1 OCM Advisory Workgroup is to establish a collaborative partnership between the CWDS Project Implementation team and Organization representatives/users of CWS-CARES V1, including representation from county child welfare, county juvenile probation, three CDSS divisions, and Title IV-E Tribes. The overall objective is to create an ongoing forum for input and insights from a group of advisors that represent each region who will serve as a guiding coalition of support for the OCM team and provide the Organization perspective of OCM and communication products during the development of the CARES V1 OCM activities.
