Opportunities Coming for Communication About the Agency’s Future

Agency leadership has been working on plans for setting future agency direction. At regional office meetings in October, Chief Administrator Paula Vincent provided an introduction to these planning efforts. In order to keep all staff in the communication loop about upcoming changes and to provide opportunity for feedback, several communication forums will be implemented. These forums are a result of recommendations made by Staff Advisory Council (SAC II) at its November meeting.

• In the month of December you will be provided with a link to a blog for Setting Agency Direction that is similar to the Construction blog already in use. This blog is intended to provide up-to-date information about progress as well as an opportunity for two-way Q & A.


• On December 20, 21 and 22, Paula Vincent will hold meetings throughout the Agency to share information and respond to questions. These meetings are optional and staff members may attend any location. The schedule for the meetings follows:
o Dec. 20: Guthrie Center Office, 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.

o Dec. 21: Ames Office, 9:00-10:30 a.m.

o Dec. 21: Indianola Office, 12:30-2:00 p.m.
o Dec. 22: Zion Lutheran Church, Des Moines, 9:00-10:30 a.m.

o Dec. 22: Newton Office, 11:30 a.m.-1:00 p.m.


• SAC II will represent staff input at monthly meetings that resume in January. Please continue to share your ideas with a SAC II member.
