MSHDA Needs to Hear from YOU at the QAP Dialogue
in Flint
CEDAM is hosting a dialogue with
MSHDA staff and our members on Thursday, August 30th, at
3:00PM at the Holiday Inn
Gateway in Flint to
discuss proposed changes to the QAP in advance of public
hearings in September. A partial draft
QAP has been released, and
CEDAM is currently working on an analysis of
it, identifying whether/where it responds to recent
CEDAM
recommendations for
improvement. We urge you to join us in
Flint and also contact Angie Gaabo with
your comments on the QAP draft or for more
information.
Industry Survey 2007:
Reminder
If you are a
CDC or CAP agency member of CEDAM or CDAD, please take the

A hard copy of this survey was mailed out yesterday to
all of our members who have not yet taken it. This data will
be turned into a report to be published this fall documenting
the many accomplishments of the CED Industry in
Michigan.
(Please
note: this is a new survey, separate from our membership
opinion survey which you may have already
completed.) |
