CWS-CARES Stakeholder Briefing #4: Materials Posted
On October 22, 2025, the CWS-CARES Project hosted Stakeholder Briefing #4, a two-hour webinar featuring updates from leadership, a demo of the CWS-CARES Administrative Console, and interactive Q&A.
We were pleased to have over 300 participants from 39 counties and four partner organizations join us! Feedback shows that the majority of attendees felt satisfied or very satisfied with the session.
If you were unable to attend, a recording is now available on the Stakeholder Briefings and Webinars page, along with the presentation and Q&A document.
Thank you to everyone who attended—we look forward to connecting again on January 28, 2026, for Stakeholder Briefing #5.
