SERVICE PROVIDER COUNCIL MEETING 9:30 am to 11 am Prospect Human Services – 915 33rd St. NE Contracts: Current and broader questions on contracting between PDD and community service providers. We are pleased to provide the opportunity on Wed. Feb. 14th for Service Providers to come together with the PDD Program and Ministry for open dialogue about contracts. Please remember that the contract template does not involve funding and so this discussion is about how the contract is working as we approach the end of the first fiscal year with this template. Please come with questions so that we can all share information and build understanding. Thank you to Prospect for hosting Council members, once again. 1.
