Update: Organizational Assessment Kim Opsahl share that the final draft of an Organizational Assessment completed by Bryan Orander of Charitable Advisors was included in the board packet. The report is intended to be a ‘thinking’ document, helping to provide perspective on key issues and possible direction and/or options. We will plan to review and discuss the document in greater detail during January’s Board meeting. VI. Industry Focused Reports and Discussions a. Update: CIHW Amendment Ms. Opsahl provided an update on key activities around advocacy efforts on the Community Integration and Habilitation Waiver Amendment. Since the Board’s last discussion, the Association’s public comments on the amendment have been shared with the Division, the Governor’s Office, key legislative leaders and partners, and industry partners. Ms. Opsahl provided insight gained from various meetings and discussions on the issues surrounding the Amendment, including changes the Division is implementing around Case Management/Intensive Support Coordination; clarification on Intensive Residential Support rates as “base rates”; and the feedback from industry partners. Based on this information, the Board agreed to continue forward with the current course of action to advocate that the Division stop submission of the amendment, study and address the various issues, and then submit the amendment. Staff will work with consultants on various strategies to advance this course of action, as well as to begin discussing strategies if the amendment is submitted. VII. Other Business VIII.
