Subject: OMSSA Policy and Research Conference - Human Services Integration - Update



 

 

Regardless of whether you work in employment, Ontario Works, Social Housing, homelessness, early learning or child care, the environment around you is changing.  Canada's sluggish economy has created challenges for individuals, communities and local government alike.  Human Services Integration is increasingly being looked at as a tool to improve outcomes for the people we serve and make best use - in the long run - of both our human and financial resources.

 

OMSSA's leading edge work in supporting and leading Human Services Integration in the Ontario Municipal Sector enters a new phase! Through the 2011 Policy & Research Conference, OMSSA will bring together provincial, national and international leaders in the field to showcase successes, discuss strategies and challenges, and pose questions to help guide the next phase in integrating municipal human service planning and delivery.

 

Join us to learn about:

*	Using data and research in decision making 
*	Having the "right" conversations- engaging your  partners and community effectively 
*	Innovations in service delivery 
*	Results-based accountability and how this can be used to support integration efforts 
*	New tools in community service planning 
*	Privacy implications of integrating service delivery 
*	Effective service evaluations 
*	... And more! 

 

This conference will provide you the opportunity to 

*	Learn from leaders in this sector - see our plenary speaker roster <http://www.omssa.com/singlepage.asp?itemcode=2011PANDRCONSPEAKERS>  below 
*	Discuss best practices - hear about challenges and strategies for success 
*	Ponder key issues with your peers - critical issues that will be discussed include accountability, program evaluation, change management, community engagement  and privacy implications 
*	Network with your municipal and provincial colleagues!

*	Jodi Sandfort, Associate Professor, University of Minnesota, Humphrey School of Public Affairs 
*	Sherri Torjman, Vice-President, Caledon Institute of Social Policy, OMSSA Champion of Human Services Award Winner
