RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MAXIMUS (NYSE: MMS), a leading provider of health and human services
worldwide, announced today that Dr. Thomas Woteki, Senior Vice President
of Technology; Patricia Connelly, Manager of Workforce Services; and
Tracy Bell, Vice President of Human Services will be featured presenters
at the American Association of SNAP Directors (AASD) and National
Association of TANF Administrators (NASTA) Annual Education Conference.
Dr. Woteki, Ms. Connelly and Mr. Bell will share an inside look at the
implementation of a predictive analytics pilot project for an employment
and training program serving TANF participants. The use of predictive
analytics supported the goal of keeping participants employed for at
least 180 days. The panel will discuss the purpose and goals of the
project, development and objectives for the model, the analytics and
data, the overall approach, and lessons learned to date. The audience
will be encouraged to dialogue with the panel participants about ongoing
applicability in establishing evidence-based practices to promote
sustainable employment outcomes for program participants.
“The incorporation of advanced analytics into the operations of public
programs can help governments deliver better outcomes for the citizens
they serve,” said Dr. Woteki. “For participants of SNAP and TANF
programs, this means taking a more targeted approach to service
delivery, providing support activities that are tailored to each
individual’s estimated likelihood of success instead of a
one-size-fits-all approach."
The AASD/NASTA Annual Education Conference brings together colleagues
from across the nation in both government and private sectors to
exchange ideas and discuss policies surrounding the administration of
SNAP and TANF programs. The conference will take place September 10-13
at the Hilton Memphis in Tennessee. To learn more, visit aasdconference.com.
