The Eastern Regional Interstate Child Support Association (ERICSA) will be hosting its first virtual Intergovernmental Training Event, where our very own Public Knowledge® Management Consultant Lara Fors will moderate a session.

PK Management Consultant Lara Fors Will Moderate a Session

We love any opportunity to expand our knowledge (being true to our name, Public Knowledge®). Attending training like this, hosted by ERICSA, allow us to learn more about the work child support professionals are doing to change the current narrative.

Improvements in Intergovernmental Case Processing – An Update on the OCSE Grants

The breakout will discuss the Intergovernmental Case Processing Innovation Grant, a two-year demonstration project designed to test how child support agencies can increase payment. Furthermore, how these payments improve case processing efficiency and customer service on intergovernmental cases. Seven states and two tribal child-support agencies were granted awards in September 2019. This panel serves as a platform to share what they have learned during this process so far.

Speakers of this panel include:

• Mariellen Keely
• Daphne Risch
• Danita Herrera
• Lara Fors, Moderator
