Good morning/afternoon,
Please enjoy this month's edition of the Grants Management Newsletter, where we highlight the latest advancements across the state utilizing the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF).
As we head into March, I want to share a few updates about our progress at the GMO.
First, this month our team held its initial kickoff meeting with IGX Solutions, our new grants management system supplier. The GMO is excited for the opportunity to implement a new system that can realize additional efficiencies and streamline the shared collaboration between our office and our stakeholders. Stay tuned for future updates on this system.
Second, the GMO team will have limited availability this week as we will be attending an annual training to enhance the knowledge and skills of each team member. The GMO continues to strive to be an excellent resource to you and your team, and our trainings help us achieve that goal. We appreciate your understanding for any delayed responses you may experience during this week.
Finally, I want to thank you all for your continued diligence in getting us your quarterly metrics. The GMO team successfully submitted the federally required Q4 2023 report to the U.S. Department of the Treasury on time, and we couldn't have done it without you. Read our latest press release to learn more.
As always, if you ever have any questions, please contact me or my team for assistance.
Sincerely,
Parker Wise
Director of Grants Management
Office of Management and Enterprise Services
