The 2020 NCSEA Innovative Partnership/Collaboration Award recognizes innovation in partnership between a child support agency and any other group(s) that assists families. This includes, but is not limited to, collaborations between a child support agency and court or another agency, organization, or program serving parents, families or children. Consideration will be given for innovation and creativity in programs designed to be impactful on the child support program.
If the nominator is NOT the IV-D Director, he/she must indicate whether they have shared the recommendation with the State IV-D Director. At least one public sector individual (excluding the individual being nominated for the award) must be the nominator or an additional reference.
The deadline for 2020 award submissions is Thursday, July 9, 2020. Questionnaires must be completed by that date. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
Supporting materials may be submitted via email to annmarieruskin@ncsea.org. If the supporting materials include a video, it is preferred the video be available for online viewing (e.g. via You Tube, Vimeo, etc.). All other supporting documentation must be submitted electronically. Supporting materials must be received by July 9, 2020, or they will not be considered in the evaluation process.
In light of the cancellation of the NCSEA 2020 Leadership Symposium, the award presentations will be done virtually at a date to be determined.
If you have questions about the application, please contact Ann Marie Ruskin, NCSEA Executive Director, 703-506-2885, or annmarieruskin@ncsea.org.
