Agenda • “Name the MIS System” contest – And the winner is …. • Updating on Overall Project Status • Next Month Preview
And the winner is …. We don’t know ! • 128 votes cast --- well over 90% of District Office staff • So many good choices that the top three vote getters are too close to call… • Run-off election for ONE WEEK • Ceres • WINC (WIC Information Network Connection) • WICIT (WIC Information and Technology
Run-Off Process • A new SurveyMonkey ballot is ready. (As in Round One, choices appear randomly when people log in….) • Jeanne will send out the survey link with a draft email • One week of voting: Polls will close FRIDAY August 2nd(to allow us to stay on schedule for logo development) • Rules of the road: • All DO staff can vote, not just WIC staff • No campaigning, please • One person, one vote • Vote for Top Choice only • Need help? Just ask…
Updates on the Overall Project • MIS and EBT Implementation Contractors have been selected from RFPs • DII is conducting an External Review to evaluate potential risks and success of the project • Contract negotiations underway with each Contractor. Hope to be done with both and Kick Off in October-November • Survey being conducted of non-chain grocers to assess how we can help them prepare for the full food package, and EBT • WIC EBT Workshop & table for VT Grocers Convention in Sept. • Work continuing on draft revisions to the Approved Products List and Food Package – needed to “load” into the MIS and EBT
