Dear VRS Partners:
I am writing to update you regarding an important transition occurring within VRS. Kim Babine has accepted a promotional opportunity with another state agency and will be leaving VRS in early May. We appreciate her service to VRS, and she will be missed.
The role of the Contracts/Partnerships Director is very important to our work and our partnership with key providers, including you. We have assembled a strong interview team and will be posting the position in early May. Once the posting is available, we will share it with you and would appreciate if you are willing to share the posting with people you think may be strong candidates. We plan to have the position filled by late summer or early fall.
During the interim, we continue to have a strong and talented Contracts/Partnerships (CP) team including Brad, Janeen, Anne, Jess, Sara and Claire. Please continue to contact the CP team member you have been working with and also to reach out to me should you have questions. I can be reached at: michelle.basham@state.mn.us
Thank you for your continued commitment to serving people with disabilities and your partnership with VRS!
