Becky Stilling named CWDS Deputy Director

On April 6th, 2018, the Office of Systems Integration (OSI) appointed Becky Stilling as the Deputy Director of the Child Welfare Digital Services (CWDS) CWS-CARES project.

Ms. Stilling served as the Acting OSI Director since December 22, 2017, spending a significant amount of time in support of the CWDS effort. “Becky brings a strong passion not only for effective project management, but also particularly for the mission of what CWDS aims to achieve,” said OSI Chief Deputy Director Matt Schueller.

Ms. Stilling is a veteran technology executive with more than 20 years of experience working in the industry, including diverse experience with California state government in various leadership roles. Previously, she was appointed by Governor Brown as the Deputy Director and Chief of the California Department of Technology, Office of Statewide Project Delivery. While there, she was responsible for overseeing and guiding the planning, procurement and project execution of the state’s most complex IT projects. Prior to her work at California Department of Technology, she was the Deputy Director of the Technology Services Division and Chief Information Officer of the California Department of Child Support Services.

As part of the Office of Systems Integration, Child Welfare Digital Services is developing a modern platform and infrastructure to replace a 20-year-old legacy child welfare management system used by county case workers. The project consists of eight digital services to replace the Child Welfare System/ Case Management System (CWS/CMS) that manages work for county child protective services programs, foster home approvals and licensing, and other critical functions that allow case workers to protect children.

Ms. Stilling joins Department of Social Services Deputy Director Kevin Gaines and County Welfare Directors Association Executive Liaison Penni Clarke as members of the CWS-CARES Executive Leadership Team.
