On Friday, August 17, 2012 from 10:30 am until 12:30 pm, NYS OPWDD will host a statewide videoconference for voluntary agency service providers to offer an update on the People First Waiver.
So that we may accommodate as many voluntary agencies as possible, you are invited to send up to two (2) individuals from your agency to attend this videoconference. A list of videoconference locations and room assignments appears below. Registration will be accepted on a first come, first served basis; pre-registration is required. To register, please contact your region’s People First Waiver Liaison. A current listing of People First Waiver Liaisons and their contact information is attached and also can be found at:

In keeping with the format of previous videoconferences for this audience, the gathering will include a brief update on the status of the People First Waiver and an extended period of questions and answers.
The Power Point files that will accompany the August 17 presentation will be posted on the Voluntary Provider Update page – see
http://www.opwdd.ny.gov/opwdd_services_supports/people_first_waiver/voluntary_provider_updates, on August 16, the day before the videoconference. Following the videoconference, a video of the presentation will also be posted on the site.
As plans move forward for this key OPWDD reform initiative, we hope service providers will continue to find our videoconference series a valuable source of information.
