January 29, 2024 UPDATE: The new Director-Alternate section of the County Contacts Page of the CWDS Website has been implemented. As of today, Single Points Of Contacts (SPOCS) are able to update this new section. Attached is the CWDS County Contacts SPOCS can utilize as a reference in updating their county’s contacts.
____________________________________________________________________________
The CWDS Office is pleased to announce a new section of the County Contacts Page of the CWDS Website. This new section will be implemented on January 29, 2024. After this is implemented, counties will have the ability to add additional contacts for the Director level. This new contact section is called ‘Director-Alternate’. It will be located under the Director tab for both CWS and CARES contacts.
The intent of this new ‘Director-Alternate’ contact is to provide counties the ability to identify contacts that should also receive executive-level communications from the CWDS Project.
On June 20, 2023, a communication was sent to all CWS SPOCs and CARES SPOCs asking for validation of names in the CWS Director area on the CWDS Website County Contact page to ensure that the name listed is indeed your CWS Director. We received responses to this request from fifteen (15) counties with eighteen (18) 'Director-Alternate' contacts. The CWDS Office will add these contacts to the new 'Director-Alternate' section on behalf of those responding counties. If your county did not provide a Director-Alternate contact or needs to make an update, please provide that information on the CWDS Website (https://cwds.ca.gov/county) once this section is implemented on Monday, January 29, 2024.
In order to ensure that future communications reach the appropriate audience, we encourage all counties to review and update as needed the County Contacts page on the CWDS Website at https://cwds.ca.gov/county as soon as possible. Attached is the CWDS County Contacts Page Guide that Single Points of Contacts (SPOCs) can utilize as a reference in updating their county’s contacts.
Action Required
After January 29, 2024, add or update contacts to the ‘Director-Alternate’ section as needed. Review and update, as needed, the County Contacts page on the CWDS Website at https://cwds.ca.gov/county. Contact the CWDS Customer Relations team if you have any questions.
