CWS-CARES Meeting Calendar – November 2024 to January 2025

Child Welfare Leadership and Core Constituents,

As part of our ongoing effort to provide you greater insight into upcoming meetings for the CWS-CARES project, please see the attached updated CWS-CARES Meeting Calendar for November and December 2024 and January 2025. This calendar includes all meetings hosted by the CWS-CARES project, including Core Constituent demonstrations, implementation meetings, and key workgroups. 
 
The calendar includes Core Constituent Build Review Demonstrations, which are a follow up to the Core Constituent Demonstrations of CARES prototypes that occurred in September and October. Participants may see feedback they provided during the prototype demonstrations incorporated into this Build Review. Please note that the CARES Product Team is still prioritizing some of the feedback and suggestions from the previous sessions. Please also note that invites will come from either the PaaS SI Product Team or the Rework mailboxes. 

The CWS-CARES project is in the process of identifying Milestone User Feedback session dates for January 2025. Milestone User Feedback is a feedback period to test specific functionalities for a subset of milestones in the developed product before Extended User Scenario Testing (EUST), which will begin in March 2025.

Please share this information with those at your organization you feel should be informed. Note: This calendar is point-in-time and subject to change. The CWS-CARES project aims to deliver a sustainable, more real-time calendar solution that will be accessible to all meeting participants and leadership in the future. If you have any questions, please contact CWS_CustRel@osi.ca.gov.
