Yes, please send directly to Patrick Baldoz, and CC: Becky Smith.

“The letter should include the name, address, phone number, and email address of the contact person.”

3. Can we use single spacing and smaller font size for charts and graphs within narrative sections?

Do that at your own risk to the degree that people can read it.

4. The elements of the program sections are, in some cases, not aligned with the evaluation criteria. How should we organize our business plan to facilitate your evaluation?

The goals for performance have not been negotiated or released for WIA PY15 or WIOA PY16. We will be advising the evaluators to look at the narrative and the Program Information Summaries, and how you will be achieving those goals.

5. Do we include individuals that receive Basic Career Services in program design, budget, and goals?

Yes, Basic Career Services will be treated the same as providing Core Services in WIA.
