Conference Management
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (formerly
HCFA)
Bridges for Health and Employment:
A National Conference on Federal Medicaid/Medicare
CESSI’s reputation
and expertise as a conference manager created the opportunity
to partner with JW Associates, LLC, as a subcontractor
to plan, coordinate and implement a conference for
the Health Care Financing Administration in Baltimore,
Maryland. The conference was designed to explain provisions
of the “Ticket To Work and Work Incentives Improvement
Act of 1999” (TWWIIA) which secures access to
employment training and placement services for people
with disabilities and increases opportunities for health
care coverage available under Medicare and Medicaid.
The conference objectives included:
- Providing general information about the Medicare/Medicaid
federal grants made available to States under TWWIIA
- Answering questions posed by the states about the
TWWIIA grants
- Learning from other states about “best practices” in
systems designed to help individuals with disabilities
obtain and retain employment
As the conference manager, CESSI provided
necessary personnel, materials and services to plan
the conference, obtain hotel space, register attendees,
produce conference materials, and facilitate the smooth
functioning of the meetings and the post conference
follow-up. The site chosen required exemplary accessibility
standards for the meetings as well as lodging for overnight
guests. Coordination included logistics for security,
arranging use of audio/visual equipment, equipping
space properly for intended use and arranging for breaks
and refreshments.
HCFA’s Statement of Work required a summary
of all presentations and questions and answers from
the conference, as well as a final evaluation report
within three weeks after the close of the conference.
