WA Cares Partner Roundtable

The WA Cares Fund will be holding a virtual partner roundtable event for human resources organizations and professionals on Tuesday, August 29 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. WA Cares is a new program that gives working Washingtonians access to long-term care coverage when they need it.

At the meeting, representatives from DSHS and ESD will share the latest program updates, provide resources, answer questions and listen to any feedback you have. A detailed agenda is attached here, along with an Outlook event you can use to save the meeting to your calendar.

Some additional notes on the meeting:

• Participation: We want to hear from you! These roundtables are meant to be interactive opportunities to discuss the program and get your input, so come prepared with your questions and thoughts to share. You can find our planned discussion questions in the agenda.  
• Recording and materials: To create a space where everyone feels comfortable participating freely in the discussion, we do not record these roundtable meetings. However, for those who aren’t able to join us, we will send out the presentation slides to this group the week of the roundtable.
• RSVP: If you’d like to join, we would appreciate an RSVP sent to kristen.maki@dshs.wa.gov. This helps us keep track of attendance and ensure all attendees are on our email list to receive meeting materials.
• Next meeting: If you’re not able to attend this time, our next HR roundtable meeting is planned for October.
