The National Direct Service Workforce Resource Center
is pleased to announce that the U.S. Departments of
Labor and Health and Human Services, with other federal
partner agencies, are jointly convening a National Symposium
on Strengthening the Home and Community-Based Direct
Service Workforce on May 8-9, 2008 in Baltimore, MD.
This event will provide a forum for showcasing best
practices in home and community-based direct service
workforce development, highlight Federal and state workforce
initiatives, and disseminate research findings and best
practices. A primary theme of the event will be the
importance of addressing workforce issues across age
and disability consumer populations.
Information about the symposium agenda and registration
will be forthcoming. Please check back at http://www.dswresourcecenter.org/index.php/dsw/dsw_symposium for more details.
The DSW Resource Center was created by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services in 2006 to respond
to the growing shortage of workers who provide direct
care and personal assistance to individuals who need
long term supports and services in the United States.
