WIA:
As a result of several audits, we have implemented a QA process that is proving to be efficient and a good training tool.  October was a huge month of learning new processes and procedures and the staff excelled in support and collaboration.  They are becoming a strong team.  November 3-7 is another state review that is in preparation for a Federal review this winter.
We have completed training this month that is enabling us to be completely paperless.  WIA staff transitioned seamlessly.  
A new process for paying the WIA participants is being developed. We are finding it necessary to move back to the direct deposit. Hoping this will be implemented by Jan. 1, 2015
Enrollment is coming back up due to the great staff that is in place and the ability to step away from the paper file process and spend more time in the field.  Duplication of case management is almost none.
The EAWDB meeting is the 18th of November and they should make a decision on how to award the WIA contract for July 1, 2015
Fiscal:
In sight of Teresa’s resignation, which we are very sad about, an Administrative move has been done with Fred, he will now be the Personnel Services Manager which encompasses HR, PR, benefits, and Risk Management.  We currently have an in house position open for Events Coordinator, which will oversee and be in charge of event facilitation.
