The state social services agency is taking nominations for an advisory board to help streamline services and increase the efficiency of business.

The Department of Social Services’ Leadership Forum Advisory Board will be comprised of representatives of community and nongovernmental agencies, as well as government and industry.

Potential board members are:

  • Recognized leaders with a demonstrated interest in fostering innovation in social services.
  • Knowledgeable in social services-related business processes, cost savings, efficiencies, intervention strategies, improved service delivery and client outcomes, or systems level integration.
  • Willing to serve if appointed and to commit the necessary time, energy and effort to contribute to activities related to the Innovation in Louisiana Government Fellowship.

Board members will provide guidance to 15 fellows as they work to develop effective solutions to social service delivery.

The advisory board will be invited to participate in monthly Webcasts, which will provide networking opportunities and updates on new and ongoing DSS programs.

As part of these meetings, DSS will arrange for nationally recognized guest speakers to give lectures and facilitate discussions about issues that are important to the social service delivery system in Louisiana.

To nominate a representative or to apply, submit a résumé or curriculum vitae of the nominee along with a letter of intent describing the nominee’s qualifications to serve.

Submit applications to Brandon Reeves at breeves@dss.state.la.us by 5 p.m. July 31.
