Meet the Community Engagement Team
The Community Engagement Team works with human services providers across the state. Their goal is to:
- Build relationships
- Share information
- Improve access to DES programs and services
Community Engagement Liaisons work with partners to improve communication and build strong relationships both inside and outside DES. This helps improve the quality of human services.
These partners value:
- Respect
- Compassion
- Transparency
They do this by:
- Increasing awareness of DES services:
- Making sure services are easy to access and work well
- Building public trust
- Partnering with community organizations across the state
