Point of Contact Update (August 27, 2020)

Key Stakeholder Meetings Planned for Early September

The BEST PMO team plans to engage with agencies over the next two months to provide updates on Program status and next steps and, importantly, to hear from agency senior leadership about key learnings from your agency’s work at home experience. Our goal is to listen and learn from you and reconfirm or revise our findings from Operation Work Group (OWG) meetings this Spring about the ways our core financials and HR/payroll systems and business processes can be improved. We will work with Points of Contact (POCs) to set up these virtual sessions to include agency senior leadership, OWG and Technical Points of Contact (TPOC) members.

We look forward to reconnecting with many of you during these sessions.

Updated Program Communication Channels

We remind all POC members that the latest updates can be seen on our website in the News area which contains previous POC updates and past presentations. We are updating Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), so please check this page out! The BEST FAQ website is www.mabest.org/faq
