What Services Are Most Important To You? Be Heard at the Public Roundtable Discussions!

DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES TO HOLD STRATEGIC ROUNDTABLES ATLANTA (GA) – The Board of Human Resources, which oversees and sets policy for the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR), will seek public input as the agency and its board plan for the SFY 2009 budget.

In an effort to become more effective in its delivery of services, the Board of the Georgia Department of Human Resources will hold a series of public strategic roundtable discussions to solicit community involvement statewide during the months of May and June.

These roundtables are designed to engage the public in the strategic policy and prioritization of the Department and help improve its decisions by involving those most affected. This is an opportunity for members of the public to provide the Board of Human Resources with comments on the services they feel are important for DHR to provide in Fiscal Year 2009.

Because space is limited in each facility, it is important to register for the Strategic Public Roundtable. To register, simply send an email by clicking on the location you plan to attend:
